Northanger Abbey
By Jane Austen
Thursday, December 4th
Join us for a lively discussion of Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, a witty parody of the Gothic novels that once thrilled (and terrified) readers of the early 19th century. Follow the imaginative young Catherine Morland as her love of spooky stories collides with the genteel realities of English society—and her overactive imagination turns a country estate into a stage for mystery and menace. Both a sharp satire and a charming coming-of-age tale, Austen’s novel playfully exposes the thrills and follies of Gothic obsession.
