Northanger Abbey
by Jane Austen
Jane Austen’s first novel, Northanger Abbey—published posthumously in 1818—tells the story of Catherine Morland
and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen’s fallible heroine is
repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey,
Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and
the heady power of literature. The satirical Northanger Abbey pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly
emphasizing caution to the female sex.
