Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen

Description

Young and susceptible, Catherine Morland expects dark secrets and many dangers to be lurking in the hidden recesses of Northanger Abbey. In fact, the real obstacles lying in her path are more mundane but just as serious as her imagined horrors. With consummate skill, the author interweaves irony and fantasy, humour and philosophy. Although published after her death, this is likely to be Austen’s earliest complete novel, its original purpose to ridicule then popular tales of romance and terror.
