Northanger Abbey (Historium Press Classics)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Historium Press Classics collector's edition with a foreword by Kate Westwood, Historical Regency author of "Woodston: a sequel to Northanger Abbey" and "A Scandal at Deptford" 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) è stata una scrittrice inglese nota per la sua arguzia, l'acuta comprensione della natura umana e la rappresentazione senza tempo dell'amore, della società e della classe. Ha scritto sei romanzi importanti, tra cui Ragione e sentimento, Emma e Orgoglio e pregiudizio, che hanno affascinato i lettori per oltre due secoli. Le sue opere sono celebri per l'acuta osservazione delle strutture sociali del suo tempo e per le complesse protagoniste femminili.
