Northanger Abbey » (Unabridged)

Jane Austen's delightful, carefully wrought novels of manners remain surprisingly relevant, nearly 200 years after they were first published. Her novels -- Pride and Prejudice and Emma among them -- are those rare books that offer us a glimpse at the mores of a specific period while addressing the complexities of love, honor, and responsibility that still intrigue us today.

Catherine Morland reads tales of Gothic romance, yet leads a country life in Wiltshire. When she is invited to Northanger Abbey, she meets all the trappings of Gothic horror she has read about and imagines the worst.
