Northanger Abbey (Cranford Collection)
Northanger Abbey (Cranford Collection) | Jane Austen
25 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
A Limited Edition from the Cranford Collection! Beautifully embossed with a gold gilding on a hardback cloth binding for the cover.
Obsessed with Gothic fiction, seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland is wintering in Bath when she encounters dashing gentleman Henry Tilney and the charismatic Thorpe siblings. Swept up by the high society she has found herself in, Catherine and her overactive imagination lead her into numerous comical misunderstandings with the Tilney family. Northanger Abbey boldly and humorously explores society in Regency-era England.

“If I understand you rightly, you had formed a surmise of such horror as I have hardly words to——Dear Miss Morland, consider the dreadful nature of the suspicions you have entertained." - Henry Tilney

We all know where Catherine got her ideas from. I glad Henry called her out for skulking but I also find the "Remember that we are English," part hilarious.

"The kitchen-garden was to be next admired, and he led the way to it across a small portion of the park."

I love this chapter not for the plot but for the garden tour!

My Kitchen Garden is looking quite lovely. ??‍?

🤪 Over the weekend I was reading on Kindle, switched back to print this morning. Read Chapter 20 rather than 19, so here's today's quote.

"The compliment of John Thorpe‘s affection did not make amends for this thoughtlessness in his sister."

I'm try to decide who is more annoying Isabella or John Thorpe.

Crinoline_Laphroaig @AnneCecilie they are sooo self centered. I really hated James siding against Catherine. 1w

I think it's fun the difference between a quiz today vs Northanger Abbey. You can play here: https://janeausten.co.uk/blogs/the-jane-austen-quiz/which-regency-style-is-for-y...

But more importantly Henry Tilney is back‼️? "He looked as handsome and as lively as ever,"......

“It is so odd to me, that you should never have read Udolpho before;" - Northanger Abbey Chapter 6.

That time I read Udolfo and had thoughts. Have you read any of Isabella's list of books?

peanutnine I read Udolpho with the #hashtagbrigade last year and wouldn't have survived without the group 😵‍💫 I'm glad for the experience though, now I know what Catherine is talking about with the veil! 😱😂 3w
eeclayton @peanutnine Same, I was bored to tears and would never have finished it if it wasn't for the #hashtagbrigade 😵‍💫 2w

"With more than usual eagerness did Catherine hasten to the Pump-room the next day, secure within herself of seeing Mr. Tilney there before the morning were over, and ready to meet him with a smile:—but no smile was demanded—Mr. Tilney did not appear."

Where oh where can Henry Tilney be? ?

Crinoline_Laphroaig @bookandbedandtea I love the randomness of this. He could have introduced her to anyone. But instead it's Henry Tilney. 3w

This is edition I'll mainly be reading from. Also have Audio and Kindle for busy days.

My favorite quote from Chapter 1 and one of my favorites from entire book:

"if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad,"

CrowCAH How fortuitous that I‘ll be reading this book for my library‘s book club discussion early in June, so I get to read it in May! I‘ll join the chapter a day readalong, once I finish my current ebook. No worries, I‘ll be able to catch up ☺️ 3w
Crinoline_Laphroaig @CrowCAH that's perfect! I'm loving how many Jane things I have going on. I'm also doing this NA Readalong with non Litsy friends on Instagram. I've join in several events from Jane Austen's House. And I couldn't find a Chapter A Day Jane book so I'm doing my own in a journal and posting to my Facebook so I will have some Jane everyday in my Facebook memories. 3w
CrowCAH @Crinoline_Laphroaig sounds wonderful! 🥰 I have my book club reading a JA variation this month. My library is doing an event in June. I joined JASNA this year and near me is an active local chapter; I‘m looking forward to handing out with some Janeites!!! 3w
