She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, Cather learns the danger of an active imagination. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen's works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePenguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

As a girl, she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. She lived with her family in Steventon until her father, a clergyman in the Church of England, retired in 1801. After his death, in 1805, she, her mother, and her sister did not have a settled home until 1809, when they moved to Chawton, Hampshire. There she was extraordinarily productive, revising three novels and writing three more from scratch. Published during her lifetime were \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e (1811), \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e (1813), \u003ci\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e (1814), and \u003ci\u003eEmma\u003c\/i\u003e (1815). Austen died on July 18, 1817, in Winchester, where she was receiving medical treatment, and was buried in that city's cathedral. Two more novels, \u003ci\u003eNorthanger Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, were published posthumously in 1817 with a biographical notice by her brother Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. She also left two earlier compositions: a short epistolary novel, \u003ci\u003eLady Susan\u003c\/i\u003e, and an unfinished novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Watsons\u003c\/i\u003e. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, \u003ci\u003eSanditon\u003c\/i\u003e, a fragmentary draft of which survives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatricia A.
