Caryl and I wanted to share some links that you may find helpful or interesting as you read Northanger Abbey.
An excellent source for information about Jane Austen's life and work is The Jane Austen Information Page. (http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/janeinfo.html) If you scroll partway down the page, you will find a section devoted to Northanger Abbey.
When you have completed the novel, you will probably appreciate this scan of an absolutely hilarious cover (http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/nhabgoth.jpg) to Northanger Abbey, marketed as a Gothic novel. Here is another scan (http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/nabgoth2.gif) from the same edition.
This site contains useful information about the Gothic novels (http://gopher.lib.virginia.edu/speccol/exhibits/gothic/north.html) Catherine and Isabella discuss in Northanger Abbey.
And here is a link to a page explaining literary references (http://www.planet.eon.net/~bplaroch/litJA.html) in Jane Austen's work, including Northanger Abbey.
