Jane Austen jugeait désuet l'engouement de son héroïne Catherine Morland pour les terrifiants châteaux moyenâgeux de Mrs. Radcliffe et les abbayes en ruine du préromantisme anglais. Parodie du roman gothique, satire pleine de saveur de la société anglaise qui prenait ses eaux à Bath, Northanger Abbey est aussi le roman très austenien du mariage et très moderne du « double jeu ».
