'...in suspecting General Tilney of either murdering or shutting up
his wife, she had scarcely sinned against his character, or
magnified his cruelty.' Northanger Abbey is about the misadventures
of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an
indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess and
dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and
diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated
settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities
of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen
brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a
more sinister turn, and edginess and circumspection are reaffirmed
alongside comedy and literary burlesque. Also including Austen's
other short fictions, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, this
valuable new edition examines the ambitious and innovative works
with which she inaugurated as well as closed her career. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
