Why read it?
1 author picked Northanger Abbey as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because I love Jane Austen. Although Northanger Abbey is ostensibly a gothic novel, I would call it light gothic or a parody of Gothic.
The heroine, Catherine Morland, is slightly naïve and is obsessed with gothic literature so when she gets a chance to stay at Northanger Abbey, her imagination goes wild. This is part of the fun of the novel but I also love Austen’s insights into character and English society.
From Mike's list on gothic novels that usurped my literary soul.
