A deliciouslywitty satire of popular Gothic romances, it is perhaps Austen’slightest, most delightful excursion into a young woman’s world.Catherine Morland, an unlikely heroine—unlikely because she is soordinary—forsakes her English village for the pleasures and perilsof Bath. There, among a circle of Austen’s wonderfully vain,dissembling, and fashionable characters, she meets a potentialsuitor, Henry Tilney. But with her imagination fueled bymelodramatic novels, Catherine turns a visit to his home,Northanger Abbey, into a hunt for dark family secrets. The resultis a series of hilarious social gaffes and harsh awakenings thatfor all of Austen’s youthful exuberance nevertheless conveys hermature vision of literature and life—and the consequences ofmistaking one for the other.
Jane Austen's last completed novel, Persuasion is a delightfulsocial satire of England's landed gentry and a moving tale oflovers separated by class distinctions. After years apart,unmarried Anne Elliot, the heroine Jane Austen called "almost toogood for me," encounters the dashing naval officer others persuadedher to reject, as he now courts the rash and younger LouisaMusgrove. Superbly drawn, these characters and those of Anne'sprideful father, Sir Walter, the scheming Mrs. Clay, and theduplicitous William Elliot, heir to Kellynch Hall, becomeluminously alive--so much so that the poet Tennyson, visitinghistoric Lyme Regis, where a pivotal scene occurs, exclaimed:"Don't talk to me of the Duke of Monmouth. Show me the exact spotwhere Louisa Musgrove fell " Tender, almost grave, Persuasionoffers a glimpse into Jane Austen's own heart while itmagnificently displays the full maturity of her literary power.
