Northanger Abbey fu il primo romanzo di Jane Austen ad essere pubblicato anche, se in precedenza erano già state stese delle versioni di Orgoglio e pregiudizio e di Ragione e Sentimento.

Catherine Morland är en naiv men godhjärtad 17-årig flicka. Hennes föräldrars barnlösa grannar bjuder henne till Bath, där hon gör sin debut i medelklassens sällskapsliv. Catherine finner snabbt en väninna i Isabella Thorpe med vilken hon delar en brinnande fascination för gotiska skräckromaner.
