Northanger Abbey

Name: Northanger Abbey
Author: Jane Austen

Jane Austen (1817)

Northanger Abbey follows Catherine Morland, a young reader whose love of gothic novels colors the way she sees friendship, courtship, and danger. Austen gently mocks sensational fiction while showing that ordinary social cruelty can still do real damage. In LLCL, students can compare the original and leveled versions while studying parody, genre expectations, imagination, evidence, and Catherine’s growth as a reader of both books and people.
