Produktbeschreibung
17-year-old Catherine Morland, reader of classic gothic novels and romance heroine wannabe, is given the opportunity of a lifetime when her rich neighbors invite her to travel with them to Bath. There, Catherine dances with a charming young man, befriends a bewitching young woman, and soon secures an invitation to a mysterious and enchanting (or so Catherine fancies it must be!) abbey, owned by the family of that charming young man. Once at the abbey, Catherine encounters a mysterious chest, a strange story of a deceased wife, and a stoic and capricious master. But are these indeed signs that Catherine has stepped into her own gothic novel? Or are there other explanations for such oddities-explanations that, if confronted, could lead Catherine's life in another direction entirely? NORTHANGER ABBEY is the fourth gothic novel in the Green Collection, Greenleaf & Plympton's inaugural collection of five classic gothics. The novels in this collection include: JANE EYRE by Charlotte Brontë THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Henry James THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO by Alexandre Dumas NORTHANGER ABBEY by Jane Austen THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Autorenporträt
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, into a well-read family. As the seventh of eight children, she was close to her sister Cassandra, who became her lifelong confidante. With ample access to literature, Austen began writing early, crafting stories and plays for her family, honing her understanding of social dynamics.Austen's first success was Sense and Sensibility in 1811, followed by Pride and Prejudice in 1813. Her novels critiqued class-conscious Regency England, exploring marriage, morality, and women's limited roles. Published anonymously as "A Lady," Austen's work reflected societal restrictions on women writers.After her death in 1817, Austen's reputation grew, with Northanger Abbey and Persuasion released posthumously. Her novels are now iconic, celebrated for their wit, style, and insight into human nature. Austen's influence endures through adaptations and study, marking her as one of English literature's greatest novelists.
