![]() ![]() Three delightful short works from across Jane Austen's career, brought together in one volume with an introduction by Margaret Drabble These three works show Jane Austen writing in a variety of styles, from melodrama to satire, and exploring a range of classes and settings. Northanger Abbey Lady Susan The Watsons Sanditon by Jane Austen Also including Austen's other short fictions, Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, this valuable new edition shows her to be as innovative at the start of her career as at its close. What could be more remote from the uneventful securities of life in the midland counties of England? Yet as Austen brilliantly contrasts fiction with reality, ordinary life takes a more sinister turn, and edginess and circumspection are reaffirmed alongside comedy andliterary burlesque. Their romantic excess and dark overstatement feed her imagination, as tyrannical fathers and diabolical villains work their evil on forlorn heroinesin isolated settings. ![]() Northanger Abbey depicts the misadventures of Catherine Morland, young, ingenuous, and mettlesome, and an indefatigable reader of gothic novels. ![]() We only index and link to content provided by other sites.
