One of the two novels published after Austen's death, Northanger Abbey is Austen's love letter to the gothic novels of her youth. Look at the gothic tradition of the late 1700s and how Austen's gentle mocking of the melodramatic flourishes of the genre inform the experiences of her impressionable young heroine, Catherine Morland.
