Notes from The Radical Reader:

• Noble Characters: Catherine Morland is a young girl (and a fanciful reader) with a robust imagination. Time and again she finds her witty suspicions proved wrong as she investigates the mysterious goings-on at Northanger Abbey. Throughout the story, this young woman matures into a wise and quiet girl. 
• Captivating Plots: A dark abbey, a mysterious death, a handsome young man, and a young girl whose imagination tends to run away from her. Combine these four elements and you have the foundation of Northanger Abbey, a novel published just a few months after Jane Austen’s death. Though one of her lesser known works, Northanger Abbey combines mystery, suspicion, and intrigue into another beautiful tale.
• Elaborate Worlds: A satire of dark, gothic fiction, Northanger Abbey is yet another of Jane Austen’s timeless classics. Set in her beloved England, fans of Austen will recognize many familiar locations like Bath and London, while also being introduced to the iconic Northanger Abbey. With its humorous suspense and intriguing plot twists, readers will not be disappointed!
