Description: Jane Austen's first novel, Northanger Abbey -- published ì posthumously in 1818-tells the story of Catherine Morland and her ì dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. ì Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes ì while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to ì Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into ì a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the ì heady power of literature. The satirical Northanger Abbey ì pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution ì to the female sex.
