Northanger Abbey: Janeites rejoice in this light and lively tour de force
Northanger Abbey is a gem. Jane Austen (1775-1817)has written a charmiing little novel about a charming little lady named Catherine Moreland. Catherine is 15 as the novel begins in Wiltshire. She and the hilariously stupid Mrs. Allen go on a six week trip to nearby Bath to take the waters. Catherine meets the fashionable and fast Isabella Thorpe. Catherine dances with the clergyman Henry Tilney ...

Absolutely delightful
I approached this book somewhat warily, knowing that Northanger Abbey was to some degree a satirical take on the immense popularity of Gothic romances such as Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho, a book I dearly love. Happily, Austen's means of poking fun at Gothic horror literature are far from mean-spirited and, as a matter of fact, can be delightfully humorous indeed. Her heroine, ...

The Incredible Jane Austen
Whoever is acquainted with Jane Austen's novels probably understands that her place in literature is almost unique for the period in which she wrote. She traveled her own road, and in the process published some of the most entertaining stories of any era. Don't bother to look hard for a hidden theme or complex plot. I've never been able to uncover any such thing. But for sheer artistry in ...

Austen is brilliant!
I have been a Jane Austen fan for years, admiring her subtle, clever humor and sharp observations. I had never read any of the tales contained in this volume -- in fact, I had never heard of three of them -- but I found myself delighted by The Watsons and Sanditon, wishing that Jane Austen had lived to complete these two lively stories. I found Northanger Abbey rather tame; in fact, as I ...

Not to be confused with a different B&N edition, this edition is sturdy and has added features.
Frankly I am puzzled by the criticisms leveled at this edition. There is another edition [also by Barnes and Noble] and it is cheaper, though the quality is very flimsy and I wonder if the other reviewers were confused with that edition? This edition of Northanger Abbey is beautifully bound, with a cloth spine, and has a lovely portrait on the cover. The text is not too small unlike some ...

Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon (Oxford World's Classics)
Jane Austen, Claudia L. Johnson

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Northanger Abbey depicts the misadventures of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. Their romantic excess and dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroines in isolated settings. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen ...

Northanger Abbey
Very funny in typical Austin fashion. A must read for any Jane Austin fan. It is a bit difficult to follow the characters and the relationships at first; Once you get to know who the characters are it is easy to appreciate them and their interactions. Austin's version of the Gothic novel. The Longman edition is very helpful in setting the context for the work. Being relatively new to Austin it ...

Jane's prose is perfect
Jane Austen is still where she belongs, between book covers. We know the stories are good, but what isn't immediately obvious is the many recent adaptations is what an impeccable writer of English prose she is - no posturing word-dropper, no purveyer of hoary terminology, but a fine, simple, straightforward narrator. She is brief but telling, using tilt and tone to make us smile. She doesn't ...
