Catherine Morland es una muchacha «tan corriente como la que más»… sólo que tiende a ver la vida como una novela. Cuando es presentada en sociedad en Bath, conoce a un joven apuesto y refinado y se siente como en una novela sentimental. Luego, invitada por el padre del joven, pasa una temporada en una antigua abadía, donde sospecha que se cobijan terribles secretos, como en una novela gótica. Pero la realidad, que también tiene sus secretos, le revelará al fin un mundo acaso más absurdo y angustioso que el imaginado en la peor de sus fantasías.

Novela de novelas, literatura de literatura, La abadía de Northanger, escrita antes de 1803 pero no publicada hasta 1818, póstumamente, encierra en una sátira literaria una hiriente reflexión sobre los prejuicios y crueldades de la sociedad, y es sin duda una de las obras más agudas y divertidas de Jane Austen.
