NORTHANGER ABBEY: AN ANNOTATED EDITION

An exquisite 'grand hardcover 'edition of one of Jane Austen’s most cherished novels, it features margin notes and full-color images throughout, as well as gorgeous, devoré embossed inside cover pages. Truly a collector’s edition.

If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad (or in a good book).
Despite being the first novel she completed in full, Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey was published posthumously in 1817―a fitting fate for a story about late discoveries. Catherine Morland is Austen’s youngest, most impressionable heroine, a connoisseur of Gothic novels with a tendency to confuse fact with fiction. This extraordinary, annotated edition will appeal to casual readers, “Friends of Jane,” and everyone eager to fall under a great book’s spell.

For beginners and experts alike―immerse yourself in Jane Austen’s world: For the modern reader, our annotations provide clear explanations and illuminating context for period language and references. For the enthusiast, they offer fresh, exciting analysis―a passionate friend in the margins.
