Introduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent. Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing understanding of the world about her. In this, her first full-length novel, Austen also fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novel, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.

Catherine Morland er en naiv, men godhjertet 17-årig pige, der gør sin debut i middelklassens selskabsliv i 1790’ernes Bath. Catherine finder hurtigt en veninde i den kokette Isabella Thorpe, som hun deler en ivrig fascination for gotiske romaner med. Hun fatter ligeledes hurtigt interesse for den intelligente og vittige Henry Tilney og udvikler senere et venskab med hans søster, Eleanor Tilney, der resulterer i en invitation til familiens hjem: Northanger Abbey. På det gamle abbedi sprudler Catherines livlige fantasi, der er påvirket af hendes litterære smag for gotiske romaner, men med tiden indser hun sandheder, som hun før har været blind overfor. NORTHANGER ABBEY blev først udgivet posthumt, men var skrevet allerede i Jane Austens ungdom, og er uden tvivl hendes mest gådefulde og opløftende roman – en roman som parodierer over den gotiske genre ved at have Catherine som den aparte heltinde. Romanen er nyoversat ved Vibeke Houstrup, som også har stået for oversættelsen af de andre i Austen-serien.Jane Austen (1775-1817) var engelsk forfatter og kendt for sine store romaner om kvinder, deres ægteskab og sociale og økonomiske stand.rn

'No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.' Northanger Abbey is a comedy about reading and misreading-of books and the world-and about different kinds of peril, both imagined and real. In it, Austen's youngest heroine, Catherine Morland, must navigate financial disadvantage, social constraint, and sometimes quite ruthless manipulation. The absurdities of fashion and conspicuous consumption, voguish ostentation and social competition are seen first in shark-infested Bath, (the premier health resort and marriage market of the day) and then in a more tranquil pocket of rural Gloucestershire that turns out to be a hotbed of materialism and greed. Jane Austen combines making fun of the excesses of the Gothic novel with larger moral issues: the folly of letting literature get in the way of life, and the inexcusability (especially for women) of not thinking for oneself. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

'Jane Austen is a genius, and Northanger Abbey is hugely underrated' Martin Amis With its irrepressible heroine and playful literary games, Northanger Abbey is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's novels. It tells the story of young, impressionable Catherine Morland, whose first experience of fashionable society introduces her to the thrills of Gothic romances, and to the sophisticated Tilneys, who invite her to their family home, Northanger Abbey. But there, influenced by novels of horror and intrigue, Catherine begins to think that terrible crimes are being committed, and her imagination threatens to run away with her. Edited with an Introduction by MARILYN BUTLER

Catherine Morland er en naiv, men godhjertet 17-årig pige, der af sine forældres barnløse naboer bliver inviteret til Bath, hvor hun gør sin debut i middelklassens selskabsliv. Catherine finder hurtigt en veninde i Isabella Thorpe, som hun deler en ivrig fascination for gotiske romaner med. Hun fatter ligeledes hurtigt interesse for den intelligente og vittige Henry Tilney og udvikler senere et venskab med hans søster, Eleanor Tilney, der resulterer i en invitation til familiens hjem: Northanger Abbey. På det gamle abbedi sprudler Catherines livlige fantasi, der er påvirket af tidens gotiske romaner (datidens svar på nutidens krimier), men da hun af Henry konfronteres med sund fornuft, indser hun sandheder, som hun før har været blind overfor. " Northanger Abbey er en satire over dårlige romaner og deres læsere, men den er samtidig en eviggyldig autentisk fortælling om, hvordan en naiv og fantasifuld ung pige på 17 opdager verden og bliver klogere." - Poul Borum, Ekstrabladet "Jane Austens gotiske parodiroman, Northanger Abbey , er stadig en fornøjelse at læse. ... tonen er i særklasse munter, og løbende parodierer Austen datidens svar på krimien: den gotiske roman." - Leonora Christina Skov, Weekendavisen "Romanen giver en utroligt underholdende beskrivelse af datidens overfladiske liv i den velbeslåede middelklasse med dens nøgterne sammenkobling af ægteskab og økonomi. Også Austens satire over den gotiske roman, der gør det svært for hovedpersonen at skelne mellem fiktion og virkelighed, er frydefuld læsning. ... Efter 200 år er romanen stadig en stor læseoplevelse. Ikke mindst fordi den ikke kun er en velskrevet samtidssatire, men også en evigtgyldig udviklingshistorie." - Jytte Kjær Schou, Litteratursiden

Jane Austen's first novel published posthumously in 1818 tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. Though Austen's fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.
