Northanger Abbey: (A Modern Library E-Book)

Northanger Abbey: (A Modern Library E-Book)

Although Northanger Abbey was not published until after Jane Austen’s death in 1817, it was one of her first novels. Northanger Abbey is, in part, Austen’s response to Gothic novels, like Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho, which were enjoying tremendous popularity in the late seventeeth and early eighteenth centuries, and to their devoted readers. It is a fine demonstration of the young novelist’s powers of social observation and pristine style, which are the hallmarks of her work.
