Sinossi
L’Abbazia di Northanger, antica dimora medievale del futuro suocero, accende l’immaginazione della protagonista, Catherine Morland, una giovane ingenuamente romantica, nutrita dalla lettura di romanzi gotici, che fantastica di misteri e delitti inesistenti. Entro questa cornice «noir» si dipana una storia d’amore contrastata ma a lieto fine, nella quale la luce del buon senso e la banalità del reale intervengono a dissolvere i fantasmi e a ridimensionare i sogni. Scritto nel 1797-98, ma pubblicato postumo, questo romanzo giovanile della Austen contiene già tutti gli elementi della sua produzione matura: quel mondo caro e familiare di persone attente al quotidiano e disattente alla storia, alle prese con doti, matrimoni, rendite e benefici, che poggia sulla solidità economica, sugli affetti domestici, sulla responsabilità degli individui, un microcosmo che l’autrice sa rendere con tocco squisito e graffiante ironia.

First and foremost: I’M IN LOVE WITH HENRY TILNEY. SO FUNNY, smart, handsome, owns a cute house, and dare I Leggi tutto
Jane Austen’s novels are just about romance and naïve women. There just another telling of boy meets girl in an uninspiring way with a few social issues thrown in. Well, ashamed as I am to admit it, that is what I used to believe in my woefully idiotic ignorance. How foolish of me. Now that I’ve act Leggi tutto
(2.5) Even knowing that this book was published after her death, that it was rewritten a few times and that it is meant as satiric take on the Gothic genre... I didn't really enjoy myself. Her writing is witty, the characters are as awful as she wanted to portray them but I didn't like the romance at Leggi tutto
Elizabeth may be the most beloved, & Emma may be the hated, and (of course) Elinor is the most sensible , but I personally think Catherine is the most relatable. We can't all be as witty and perceptive as Lizzie, and we hopefully aren't as meddling and silly as Emma. But Catherine? Well, she's somewhe Leggi tutto
A creepy mansion ... Dark and stormy nights ... ... and Jane Austen just having fun with us. "Now I must give one smirk, and then we may be rational again." Seventeen year old Catherine Morland, as innocent and naïve a heroine as Austen ever created, with no particular distinguishing characteristics exc Leggi tutto
"The person, be it gentlemen or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid." This is my third Austen novel: Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility being the first two, and when I reviewed the first two, I felt that I did not do justice to the author, mainly because Leggi tutto
Northanger Abbey is the shortest of Jane Austen's six major novels, and has a special place in many readers' hearts. In many ways it is not the tightly constructed witty sort of story we expect from this author, yet its spontaneity and rough edges prove to be part of its charm. Started when she was
