NORTHANGER ABBEY ALSO CONTAINS LADY SUSAN, THE WATSONS AND SANDITION

C2008 REISSUE TRADE PAPERBACK OXFORD WORLD'S CLASICS [AUSTEN, JANE] ALSO CONTAINS LADY SUSAN, THE WATSONS AND SANDITION

From Publisher:

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 brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a more sinister turn, and edginess and circumspection are reaffirmed alongside comedy and literary burlesque. Also including Austen's other short fictions, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, this valuable new edition shows her to be as innovative at the start of her career as at its close.
