Jane Austen, 2017
During a six-week visit to the fashionable town of Bath, the young Catherine Morland experiences high society. Influenced by sensational Gothic novels, she travels to Northanger Abbey anticipating a thrilling adventure. Once there, Catherine begins to develop elaborate and improbable theories about the abbey's inhabitants and their activities.
This early work, published posthumously, serves as a clever parody of the Gothic genre, particularly the style of Ann Radcliffe. It also functions as a witty comedy of manners, characteristic of Austen's later novels, and ultimately unfolds as an enchanting love story.
