The humorous adventures of young Catherine as she encounters "the difficulties and dangers of a six weeks' residence in Bath" lead to some of Austen's most brilliant social satire. There is Catherine's hilarious liaison with a paragon of bad manners and boastfulness; her disastrous friendship with an unforgettably crass coquette; and a whirl of cotillion dances with their timeless mortifications. A visit to ancient Northanger Abbey, the ancestral home of the novel's handsome hero, excites the irrepressible Catherine's hopes of romance amid gothic horrors. But what awaits her there is a drama of a different kind, in this most youthfully exuberant and broadly comic of Jane Austen's works. 650 $a Audiobooks. 650 $a England $x Fiction. $x 19th century $x Fiction. 650 $a Gentry $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Gothic fiction. 650 $a Horror tales $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Love stories. 650 $a Marriage $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Young women $x Fiction. 700 $a Blackstone Audiobooks. 700 $a May, Nadia. 856 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=D70D8CA9-7CCB-4FB3-A650-257E5E883145 $3 URL 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20110902011055.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20101023011152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10361BFADE6B11DF9C83A1F56AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
