Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen

£18.99

Pre-order

Jane Austen has won legions of devoted fans in the 200 years since her death with her masterful parody of courtship and lightly moralizing critique of social mores in the early 19th century. ‘Northanger Abbey’ was the first of her major novels to be completed, and though it was sold to a publisher in 1803, it was not released until 1817, months after her death. The tale of Gothic novel-obsessed Catherine Morland gives readers, particularly Austen fans that have only experienced her later works, an early point of reference by which to chart the sharpening of her famous wit.

Description

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Austen’s satirical swipe at the gothic novel with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, beautiful paper and finished with a silk ribbon.

Catherine Morland is a young girl with a very active imagination. Her naivety and love of sensational novels lead her to approach the fashionable social scene in Bath and her stay at nearby Northanger Abbey with preconceptions that have embarrassing and entertaining consequences.
