Northanger Abbey was the first of Jane Austen's books to be completed for publication, though she had previously made a start on Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. According to Cassandra Austen's Memorandum, Susan (as it was first called) was written circa 1798–99. It was revised by Austen for the press in 1803, and sold in the same year for £10 to a London bookseller, Crosby & Co., who decided against publishing. In the spring of 1816, the bookseller was content to sell it back to the novelist's brother, Henry Austen, for the exact sum—£10—that he had paid for it at the beginning, not knowing that the writer was by then the author of four popular novels.

Seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is one of ten kids of a country clergyman. Although a tomboy in her childhood, by the age of 17 she is "in training for a heroine" and is excessively fond of reading Gothic novels, among which Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho is a favourite.
This edition has been formatted for your reader, with an active table of contents.  The book has also been annotated, with additional information about the book and Jane Austen, including an overview, plot, characters, themes, allusions, significance, adaptations, biographical and bibliographical information.
