Seventeen-year old Catherine Morland has been reading far too many "horrid" gothic novels and would love to encounter some gothic-style terror - however, the superficial world of Bath proves hazardous enough. Though Austen's fallible heroine is dangerously sweet natured, innocence, and sometime self-delusional, she is repeatedly drawn into scrapes and situations. Eventually she triumphs, blossoming into a sensitive woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature.
The humorous Northanger Abbey pokes fun at the 18th century gothic novel genre.
