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.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Perhaps the most ironic and fun novel by Jane Austen, the unrivaled master of comedy of manners.

Translation by Isabel Oyarzábal

Introduction by Marilyn Butler, professor at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford.

Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, originally published posthumously in 1818, is the story of seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, one of ten children of a country clergyman, whose wild imagination and excessive fondness for Gothic novels (especially Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho) has skewed her worldview and interactions with others to great comic effect.

Catherine leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humor the interactions between Catherine and the various characters she meets and tracks her growing understanding of the world around her.

In her first full-length novel, Austen fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novels, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.

About the Author
Jane Austen nació en la rectoría de Steventon, al noreste de Hampshire, el 16 de diciembre de 1775. Séptima hija del reverendo George Austen y de Cassandra Leigh, Jane Austen fue una destacada novelista británica que, gracias a su gran habilidad para retratar a la sociedad en la que vivió, es considerada como uno de los clásicos de la literatura inglesa. Las novelas de Jane Austen son un reflejo de la nobleza rural inglesa de la época; gracias a su ironía e ingenio y a lo atractivo de su narrativa, se mantienen como un referente de la literatura universal.

Su obra ha sido adaptada al cine, al teatro y a la televisión en numerosas ocasiones. Durante la década de 1790 escribió los primeros borradores de sus exitosas novelas Sentido y sensibilidad, La abadía de Northanger y Orgullo y prejuicio, inspiradas en el color local de Kent y Bath. Entre 1810 y 1817 verían la luz Emma, Mansfield Park y Persuasión. Austen falleció en 1817 en Winchester.
