There were also Ann Radcliffe’s ‘Mysteries of Udolpho’. These included works by the Bronte sisters like ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte and ‘Jane Eyre’ by Charlotte Bronte. In Jane Austen time during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the most popular novels read were gothic romances. It’s Jane Austen’s attempt at doing a gothic romance, although it is fair to say this is more of a gothic parody. It was when I was getting into Jane Austen through a personal project of mine that I got intrigued by this story. ‘Northanger Abbey’ is one of the works of Jane Austen that I knew least about. This is undoubtedly the strangest story ever conceived by Jane Austen! Please feel free to comment on my review.
