Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen

Northanger Abbey which was not published until after Jane Austen's premature death in 1817, is a skilful parody of the 'Gothic Horror' novels of the 19th century.

The central character is Catherine Morland. The story describes her stay at a city called Bath, eventually getting acquainted with her dream man Henry Tilney and how this affection sets forth her journey to Northanger Abbey.
