Northanger Abbey por Series Penguin Popular ClassicsTemas: AUTORES BRITANICOS; NOVELAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
No es ficción Idioma del resumen: Inglés
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin Books, 1994
Resumen: Though "Northanger Abbey" is one of Jane Austen's earliest novels, it was not published until after her death. The novel is modeled after the day's popular romances and Gothic thrillers, which it then proceeds to ridicule. The heroine is Catherine Morland, who encounters upper-crust society at Bath, falls in love, and becomes targeted by misinformed fortune-seekers. After moving to Northanger Abbey, her imagination goes to work and dreams up mysteries that lead to various social disasters.

Lady Susan / The Watsons / Sanditon por
- Austen, Jane, 1775-1817
- Drabble, Margaret [ed., intr.]
Series Penguin ClassicsTemas: AUTORES BRITANICOS; NOVELAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
No es ficción Idioma del resumen: Inglés
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin Books, 2003
Resumen: These three short works show Austen experimenting with a variety of different literary styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan depicts an unscrupulous coquette, toying with the affections of several men. In contrast, The Watsons is a delightful fragment, whose spirited heroine - Emma - finds her marriage opportunities limited by poverty and pride. Meanwhile Sanditon, set in a seaside resort, offers a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and spectators, treated by Austen with both amusement and scepticism.
