<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Jane Austen's first novel, <i>Northanger Abbey</i>--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 <i>Northanger Abbey</i> pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex. <p/>This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the first edition of 1818.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jane Austen is the Rosetta stone of literature." --<b>Anna Quindlen</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Robert Kiely</b> is Loker Professor of English and American Literature at Harvard.
