Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen

Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey tells the story of Catherine Morland, a naïve young woman whose love of Gothic novels colors her view of the world. When she visits the grand Northanger Abbey, her imagination leads her to mistake fiction for reality. Through humor and irony, Austen exposes the dangers of romantic fantasy and social pretense. Catherine’s journey ultimately teaches her maturity, discernment, and the difference between illusion and truth.
