Northanger Abbey - Larger Print Author:Jane Austen Northanger Abbey is the medieval manor of Henry Tilney, with whom, while at a summer resort, Catherine falls in love and wants to marry. But she becomes darkly suspicious of the abbey once invited there -- for she has read many of the Gothic horror novels popular in the author's day. Surely, a wicked crime lies buried in it. Surely, Henry... more »9;s eccentric father is gruesomely involved...
The true situation at the manor exposes Catherine's folly. It also subjects her to a deeper humiliation. For NORTHANGER ABBEY (1818) is a literary satire, a mystery, and something more. It is a bright, barbed study of social snobbery, of the search for love frustrated by ambition and greed. As such, critics have rated it not far behind Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE -- and, in its own right, one of the greater glories of English literature.
