Northanger Abbey

5r 2023 Jane Austen 

Notes

Northanger Abbey is a novel by Jane Austen, first published posthumously in 1817. It follows the story of Catherine Morland, a young, imaginative woman who embarks on a trip to Bath and later to Northanger Abbey, where she becomes entangled in a romantic plot and her fantasies inspired by Gothic novels. Through Catherine's adventures, Austen satirizes the popular Gothic genre of the time, critiquing excessive sentimentality and the tendency to over-romanticize reality. At its core, Northanger Abbey explores themes of perception, growing maturity, and the distinction between fiction and real life.
