Fascinated with Gothic novels the naïve young protagonist, seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, Jane Austen's youngest and most impressionable heroine finds herself wintering in Bath when she encounters dashing gentleman Henry Tilney and the charismatic Thorpe siblings. Caught up with high society, Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures. How Catherine views the world has been distorted by her fondness for Gothic novels and an active imagination, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion , published together posthumously in 1818. A short epistolary novel, Lady Susan , and another unfinished work, The Watsons , were published posthumously in 1871, and a final unfinished novel, Sanditon , was eventually published in 1925. Her works are considered to be among the finest examples of early 19th century British literature
