Author: JaneAusten
Title: Northanger Abbey, Lady Susan, The Watsons, Sanditon
Description: Oxford 2008 Paperback, 432pp. 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. Cover a little worn; a few foxing spots to text block edge. (ISBN: 9780199535545). Good.
