Description
Jane Austen's first novel, written in her early 20s, is a satire of the Gothic novels popular at this time. She pokes fun at the romantic follies of the genteel classes in their pursuit of love, marriage, and money. When Catherine Morland leaves her quiet, bookish, country life in Hampshire to enter the leisure society at Bath, she has high hopes for lots of shopping, dressing, taking tea, and dancing with fashionable gentlemen. Her imagination soars when she is invited to visit the mysterious Tilney family home, Northanger Abbey. Catherine becomes the heroine of her own Gothic novel while exploring this large, rambling house full of locked doors and secrets, enticed into a web of intrigue and romance. A Cover to Cover Unabridged Classic.
