Overview of Northanger Abbey (Bantam Classic) Book

The earliest of her six major novels, NorthangerAbbey remained unpublished until after Jane Austen s death. A deliciously witty satire of popular Gothic romances, it is perhaps Austen s lightest, most delightful excursion into a young woman s world. Catherine Morland, an unlikely heroine unlikely because she is so ordinary forsakes her English village for the pleasures and perils of Bath. There, among a circle of Austen s wonderfully vain, dissembling, and fashionable characters, she meets a potential suitor, Henry Tilney. But with her imagination fueled by melodramatic novels, Catherine turns a visit to his home, Northanger Abbey, into a hunt for dark family secrets. The result is a series of hilarious social gaffes and harsh awakenings that for all of Austen s youthful exuberance nevertheless conveys her mature vision of literature and life and the consequences of mistaking one for the other.
