The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. Jane Austen’s first work to be completed in full, Northanger Abbey is a coming-of-age story that satirises gothic romances and high society. It was published posthumously in the December of 1817. Catherine Morland, a young woman captivated by Bath’s fashionable society, finds herself navigating the intrigues of friendship, love, and social expectations. On an adventure for self-discovery among new acquaintances such as Isabella and John Thorpe and Henry Tilney, Catherine’s path is riddled with many humorous misunderstandings as she slowly learns that reality often defies the thrilling fantasies found in her beloved gothic novels. Austen’s witty prose and sharp observations illuminate the pitfalls of youthful naivety and the triumph of finding true understanding in the heart of Regency England.
