One of the first of Jane Austen's novels to be written, and one of
the last to be published, Northanger Abbey is both an amusing story
of how a naive girl enters society and wins the affection of a
witty young clergyman, and a high-spirited parody of the lurid
Gothic novels that were popular during Austen's youth. In the
process it features a vivid account of social life in late
eighteenth-century Bath, and Austen's famous defence of the novel
as a literary form. This edition, based on the text of the novel as
published posthumously in 1818, is accompanied by explanatory
notes, and an appendix summarising the plots and situations of the
Gothic fictions that form the basis of much of Austen's comedy. In
addition there is an extensive critical introduction covering the
context, publication, and critical history of the novel, a
chronology of Austen's life, and authoritative textual apparatus.
