– 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.

'Jane Austen is a genius, and Northanger Abbey is hugely underrated' Martin Amis
With its irrepressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels. It tells the story of young, impressionable Catherine Morland, whose first experience of fashionable society introduces her to the thrills of Gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her.
Edited with an Introduction by MARILYN BUTLER
