Northanger Abbey is a novel by Jane Austen that tells the story of Catherine Morland, a young woman who tends to see life as a novel. On her first foray into Bath society, she meets a handsome and refined young man, feeling like she's in a sentimental novel. Invited to spend a season in an old abbey, she suspects that terrible secrets are hidden there, as in a gothic novel. However, reality will reveal to her a world more absurd and distressing than the one imagined by her fantasies. This novel, written before 1803 but published posthumously in 1818, is a literary satire that reflects on the prejudices and cruelties of society, being one of Austen's most acute and amusing works.
Jane Austen was an English writer known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.
