Summary

Jane Austen's classic tale, read by Joanna Lumley.

Northanger Abbey, a satire of Gothic melodrama, is one of Jane Austen's most popular works. When Catherine Morland is launched into the politics and pitfalls of the Bath social season, she behaves with the cheerful open-mindedness of one of Jane Austen's most eligible classic heroines.

Critic reviews

"The purpose of the novel is to ridicule the [then] popular tales of romance and terror...and to contrast these with the normal realities of life." (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature)

A well read story .Most enjoyable.

I do so much like a story told by someone who is so good at telling it...well done Joanna, and of course Jane. Fantastic.

Lumley reads well though sound quality not great

Unfortunately the sound quality of this recording is not consistently clear. Otherwise Lumley reads excellently.
