Northanger Abbey

«As a creative realist, giving to her characters the very body and pressure of actual life, no writer, living or dead, has surpassed her. -- John Cowper Powys»

While enjoying a six weeks' stay in fashionable Bath, the young and callow Catherine Morland is introduced to the delights of high society. Thanks to a new literary diet of the sensational and the macabre, Catherine travels to Northanger Abbey fully expecting to become embroiled in a Gothic adventure of intrigue and suspense - and, once there, soon begins to form the most gruesome and improbable theories about the exploits of its occupants.

While enjoying a six weeks' stay in fashionable Bath, the young and callow Catherine Morland is introduced to the delights of high society. Thanks to a new literary diet of the sensational and the macabre, Catherine travels to Northanger Abbey fully expecting to become embroiled in a Gothic adventure of intrigue and suspense - and, once there, soon begins to form the most gruesome and improbable theories about the exploits of its occupants.
An early work, but published posthumously, Northanger Abbey is a parody of the Gothic genre typified by the novels of Ann Radcliffe, as well as a witty comedy of manners in the style of Jane Austen's later novels and, ultimately, an enchanting love story.

– Unge Catherine Morland drar til Bath for å bo hos den ganske så enkle Mrs. Allen. Her tar hun del i det lokale sosietetslivet og skaffer seg mange nye venner og beundrere. Hennes naive og godhjertede sjarm tiltrekker spesielt to menn; John Thorpe, den uhøflige skrytepaven, og Henry Tilney, som hun liker svært godt. Dette er en veldig vakkert skrevet bok, slike som alle av Jane Austen er. Det skjer ikke noe særlig, men historien er allikevel veldig fengslende. Catherine er en person man lett blir kjent med og får stor sympati for. Selv om jeg personlig likte ¿Emma¿ enda litt bedre, så er denne slett ikke mye dårligere. Boken er en veldig interessant skildring av den tidens sosietetsliv, og er absolutt verdt å lese.
