Summary

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

Exquisitely written with Piper's signature lush and haunting prose, this bleak and undeniably upsetting novella will provoke and excite like all excellent works of art should."—Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
