Northanger Abby

Northing Abbey was Jane Austen’s very first completed novel though it wasn’t published until 1803. The novel satirizes of the popular Gothic novels of the time by telling the story circles around a young girl, Catherine Morland, that is in love with the same Gothic novels. Her life is anything but similar to the outlandish adventures in the novels she reads. The comedy comes from the pure monotony that Catherine experiences.
