Northanger Abbey is the story of Catherine Morland, an enthusiastic but naïve girl intent on becoming a heroine like the ones she has read about in popular novels. Searching for romance and adventures worthy of her favourite works of fiction, she becomes ever more entangled in an authentic world of manipulation, greed and disloyalty.
This is ones of Jane Austen's earliest and most varied works. It contains fascinating insights into her life as both a reader and a writer, and it is as imaginative and entertaining as the Gothic novels it sets out to lampoon.
What else to say about Jane Austen, a widely known author largely loved by many and by me as well. This book was a gift by my husband, one of the first ones, and its edition is really wonderful as it looks like an old book or those notebooks by Moleskine.
The volume is part of a collection named after the English city of Winchester, the county town of Hampshire, where Jane Austen spent most of her life. She is buried in the north aisle of the nave of Winchester Cathedral.
