summary: 'no one who had ever seen catherine morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.

' northanger abbey is a comedy about reading and misreading-of books and the world-and about different kinds of peril, both imagined and real. In it, austen's youngest heroine, catherine morland, must navigate financial disadvantage, social constraint, and sometimes quite ruthless manipulation.

The absurdities of fashion and conspicuous consumption, voguish ostentation and social competition are first seen in bath, infested with sharks (the premier health resort and marriage market of the day), and then in a more tranquil pocket of rural gloucestershire that turns out to be a hotbed of materialism and greed. Jane austen combines making fun of the excesses of the gothic novel with larger moral issues: the folly of letting literature get in the way of life, and the inexcusability (especially for women) of not thinking for oneself.

about the series: for over 100 years oxford world's classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Each affordable volume reflects oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
