Catherine Morland's introduction to fashionable society exposes her to
horror, crime, and romance. Jane Austen's first novel parodies the
popular gothic novels of the time and reveals a youthful imagination in
her early work.
Set in one of England's most beautiful and historical cities, Bath,
Northanger Abbey explores the trivialities and imaginings of a young
lady as she is introduced to society. Catherine Morland is an
impressionable girl with a fondness for gothic novels and tales of
romance. Join her as she explores a new city and loses her heart to the
Tilneys' family home, Northanger Abbey. But as Catherine discovers a new
world, her vivid imagination begins to get the better of her and soon
she is convinced that the grand home is the keeper of many dark secrets.
Published posthumously, this seminal work from Jane Austen is rife with
her famous wit and humour. An ideal short read for fans of classic
English literature.
