Northanger Abbey was Austen's first completed novel, but it remained unpublished until after her death. The seventeen-year-old heroine, Catherine Morland, has a fanciful imagination and a fondnessfor Gothic novels. Naive and oblivious to the true nature of the world, she encounters love and heartbreak on her journey to adulthood.Lighter in tone than Austen's later works, the novel parodies the hugely popular Gothic works of the period. It has been adapted into several film, television and theatre productions, and has even beenreimagined as a teen thriller under The Austen Project by Scottish crime writer Val McDermid.
