Northanger Abbey was a book that did justice to the expectation that I started it with. What can be written about classics that has not been written before? I find that with books as old and as popular as these, I can only write about my thoughts and feelings on reading it rather than have a proper critique. The satirical novel pokes fun at the gothic novel while earnestly emphasizing caution to the female sex.“ The Book Though Austen’s fallible heroine is repeatedly drawn into scrapes while vacationing at Bath and during her subsequent visit to Northanger Abbey, Catherine eventually triumphs, blossoming into a discerning woman who learns truths about love, life, and the heady power of literature. “ Jane Austen’s first novel-published posthumously in 1818-tells the story of Catherine Morland and her dangerously sweet nature, innocence, and sometime self-delusion. I also thought that reading a classic would be a good way to start the year. I had read Pride and Prejudice just a year ago and loved it! So I wanted to see if I end up liking other Austen work too. When Binder’s Book Club decided to start 2021 with a Jane Austen, I decided to join them. So imagine my surprise when I end up liking every classic that I read! I just need someone to motivate me to start reading a classic and then its smooth sailing. I am also not a a person who romanticizes the era. I have a pre-conceived notion that they have too much of descriptions to be quick paced. I am a self-confessed non-reader of classics.
