Quizá la novela más irónica y divertida de Jane Austen, maestra inigualable de la comedia de costumbres. Traducción de Isabel Oyarzábal Introducción de Marilyn Butler, profesora en las universidades de Cambridge y Oxford Publicada por primera vez en 1818, La abadía de Northanger narra la historia de Catherine Morland, una joven muy aficionada a las novelas góticas. Por ello, cuando los Tilney la invitan a pasar una temporada en su casa de campo, se pone a investigar tortuosos e imaginarios secretos de familia. Pero al comprender que la vida no es una novela, la inocente Catherine pondrá los pies en la tierra y encauzará su futuro según dictan las normas morales y sociales de la época. La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora, así como una introducción a cargo de Marilyn Butler, reputada crítica literaria, y autora del ensayo Jane Austen and the War of Ideas (1975). Hace las veces de colofón una nota biográfica escrita por el hermano de Jane Austen cinco meses después de su muerte, un documento inédito que aporta fragmentos de sus últimas cartas y deja entrever el perfil más humano de una de las autoras más apreciadas de la literatura inglesa.
