Es esta la novels mas popular de Jane Austen (1775-1817), considerada por la mayor parte de los criticos como su obra maestra. En ells, todos los elementos del equilibrado y sobrio arte de la escritora alcanran su mejor expresi6n. La obra debe gran parte de su popularidad al brio y a Is agudeza con que son creados algunos personajes comicos, como el amenisimo pastor Collins, uno de los figurones mais celebres de Is literatura inglesa.
Con unos pocos y sencillos rasgos, Jane Austen traza unas figures tan eficaces, que alcanzan un relieve que las hace inoh idables.

Work Description
Northanger Abbey is both a perfectly aimed literary parody and a withering satire of the commercial aspects of marriage among the English gentry at the turn of the nineteenth century. But most of all, it is the story of the initiation into life of its naïve but sweetly appealing heroine, Catherine Morland, a willing victim of the contemporary craze for Gothic literature who is determined to see herself as the heroine of a dark and thrilling romance.
When Catherine is invited to Northanger Abbey, the grand though forbidding ancestral seat of her suitor, Henry Tilney, she finds herself embroiled in a real drama of misapprehension, mistreatment, and mortification, until common sense and humor—and a crucial clarification of Catherine’s financial status—puts all to right. Written in 1798 but not published until after Austen’s death in 1817, Northanger Abbey is characteristically clearheaded and strong, and infinitely subtle in its comedy.
