Published posthumously in 1817, Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is a dazzling parody of the sensational Gothic novels popular in the late eighteenth century. The story follows naive, imaginative Catherine Morland as she enters Bath society and visits the ancient ancestral home of the Tilney family, imagining sinister conspiracies behind every locked cabinet before learning lessons in maturity and love. Preserved in the Pagory Reading Room with full digital reader and salon editions.
