Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent.
Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland
who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy,
sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with
insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the
various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing
understanding of the world about her. In this, her first
full-length novel, Austen also fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on
other kinds of contemporary novel, especially the Gothic school
made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes
intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the
uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding
happiness.
