In an article from The Chicago Tribute, “A musical 'Northanger Abbey' captures Austen's charm” by Chris Jones, makes me feel very pleased about how Jane Austen’s work is perceived as great literary work.

In the second article from The New York Times, It Was a Dark and Stormy Night Val McDermid’s ‘Northanger Abbey’ by JO Baker, shows that Catherine’s reading of gothic novels gives her an unrealistic perspective on her current reality.

Examining the 2007 Adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey Screenplay by Andrew Davies and directed by Jon Jones, the 2007 adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey is a fairly accurate representation of the novel.

Northanger Abbey is a novel famous for its satirizing of the Gothic novel, simultaneously criticizing the values of people (stressing the importance of education for women) and illustrating the life of the British gentry, placing the spotlight over a young woman and her adapting to the real world surrounding her. Therefore, it is hard to place this novel into only one specific genre, just like it is hard to identify Austen with a particular literary movement as romanticism or Victorian literature.

However, Emden suggests that the novel was actually composed in two stages. The first part describes Catherine’s stay in Bath and can be seen as a satire of sentimental novel, the second is set at Northanger Abbey and represents Gothic passages.
