Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, Fiction, Literary, Classics

✅ The first 🥇 pages 📃 of Northanger Abbey send 📦️➡️ up ⬆️ Ann Radcliffe& 3️⃣9️⃣;s The Mysteries of Udolpho: Jane Austen& 3️⃣9️⃣;s heroine 🦸, is established to be a born heroine 🦸 -- but she 👤👩& 3️⃣9️⃣;s Austen& 3️⃣9️⃣;s heroine 🦸, not ❌️ fated for any particular reason; just fated. In Austen& 3️⃣9️⃣;s words,& 3️⃣4️⃣;no one 1️⃣ who had ever seen 👀 Catherine Morland in her 👤👩⬅️ infancy, would have supposed her 👤👩⬅️ born to be an heroine 🦸.& 3️⃣4️⃣; But fated she 👤👩 was, and ➕ Austen tells 🗣️ her 👤👩⬅️ tale delicviously. She 👤👩 spends the novel exploring decrepit castles 🏰, locked 🔒️ rooms, mysterious chests 🧰, cryptic notes 🎶, and ➕ tyrannical fathers 🎅 -- but none of them ➡️👥 are what one 1️⃣ would expect in a gothic potboiler, nor in a title of Radcliffe& 3️⃣9️⃣;s. Catherine goes with family 👪️ friends to the spa at Bath 🛀; and ➕ there she 👤👩 meets 👤🤝👤 Henry Tilney and ➕ his 👤👨⬅️ sister Eleanor, who invite her 👤👩⬅️ to visit their family 👪️ estate, Northanger Abbey. That& 3️⃣9️⃣;s where the book 📚️ invokes the Horrid Props of a gothic novel: there are dreadful portents everywhere, even in the most wonderfully prosaic events.
