In her introduction to Northanger Abbey—part of Harvard’s celebrated annotated Austen series—Susan Wolfson proposes that Austen’s most underappreciated, most playful novel is about fiction itself and how it can take possession of everyday understandings. Wolfson’s running commentary will engage new readers and delight scholars.

A new edition of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, originally published posthumously in 1818. Northanger Abbey is the story of seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, one of ten children of a country clergyman, whose wild imagination and excessive fondness for Gothic novels (especially Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho) has skewed her worldview and interactions with others to great comic effect. Fundamentally a parody of the Gothic fiction that was so popular in Austen's formative years, Northanger Abbey is a uniquely significant work, in that it shows Austen's departure from those conventions and tropes -- featuring three dimensional heroines, who were not perfect people, but flawed, rounded characters who behaved naturally and not just as the novel's plot demanded. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, published together posthumously in 1818. A short epistolary novella, Lady Susan, and another unfinished work, The Watsons, were publish posthumously in 1871, and a final unfinished novel, Sanditon, was eventually published in 1925. Her works are considered to be among the finest examples of early 19th century British literature, hallmarks of the transitionto 19th century literary realism
Austen's "most wicked tale," Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. Lady Susan is a selfish, attractive woman, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel; she has an active role, she's not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is.About the authorJane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. Her biting social commentary and masterful use of both free indirect speech and irony eventually made Austen one of the most influential and honored novelists in English Literature.
These three short works indicate Austen trying different things with a wide range of abstract styles, from drama to parody, and investigating a scope of social classes and settings. The early epistolary novel Lady Susan portrays a corrupt tease, toying with the affections of a few men. Conversely, The Watsons is a delightful part, whose vivacious courageous woman Emma discovers her marriage openings restricted by destitution and pride. In the interim Sanditon, set in a shoreline resort, offers an eminent cast of anxious people and onlookers, treated by Austen with both delight and wariness.About AuthorOne of England's Most adored writer, Jane Austen composed six great books, for example, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park and Persuasion. Her works were distributed secretly amid her life time. Jane Austen's work was eminent for its authenticity, funniness, and discourse on English social customs and society at the time Jane Austen composing was bolstered by her family, especially by her sibling, Henry and sister, Cassandra, who is accepted to have pulverized, at Jane Austen's ask for, her own correspondence after Jane Austen's demise motel 1817. Jane Austen's creation was uncovered by her nephew in a Memoir of Jane Austen, Published in 1869, and the artistic estimation of her work has since been perceived by researchers around the globe.

This publisher did not print the work but held on to the manuscript.Austen reportedly threatened to take her work back from them, but Crosby & Co responded that she would face legal consequences for reclaiming her text.In the spring of 1816, the bookseller sold it back to the novelist's brother, Henry Austen, for the same sum as he had paid for it. There is evidence that Austen further revised the novel in 1816-1817 with the intention of having it published. Austen rewrote sections, renaming the main character Catherine and using that as her working title.After her death, Austen's brother Henry gave the novel its final name and arranged for publication of Northanger Abbey in late December 1817 (1818 given on the title page), as the first two volumes of a four-volume set, with a preface for the first time publicly identifying Jane Austen as the author of all her novels. Neither Northanger Abbey nor Persuasion was published under the working title Jane Austen used. Aside from first being published together, the two novels are not connected; later editions were published separately.
