Description

First Edition Thus. Elaborately gilt-decorated on spine and front cover. Northanger Abbey, completed by Jane Austen in 1799 but published posthumously in 1817 with Persuasion, is both a coming-of-age novel and a sophisticated satire of Gothic fiction. This edition is among the earliest to feature full-color illustrations. Bound with decorative gilt and pictorial endpapers, it reflects contemporary advances in illustrated literature and color printing.
