‘“Oh! It is only a novel!” . only some work in which the powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.’ Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is a sincere and warm-hearted young girl who has led a sheltered life. Poor, inexperienced Catherine doesn’t know that her innocence and naiveté will prove to be perilous when she steps into society for the first time. Here she is at Bath on vacation with her neighbours, but she has nothing to defend herself against the wiles of the people she encounters. Possessed by an overactive imagination and a boundless love for Gothic thrillers, Catherine’s next visit is to the eerie mansion of Northanger Abbey, where she is invited by one of her acquaintances. Heady from the power of literature she consumes every day, Catherine finds horrible secrets in every room, ultimately suspecting the owner of the house to have murdered his own wife. Will Catherine keep delving into delusions throughout her visit? Or will she come out a discerning woman with a changed worldview and understanding of life?
