Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp). Northanger Abbey was written in 1797-98 under a different title. The manuscript was revised around 1803 and sold to a London publisher, Crosbie & Co., who sold it back in 1816. The Signet Classic text is based on the first edition, published by John Murray, London, in 1818, the year following Miss Austen's death. General Tilney
"not past the vigour of life," is the character,
which we will examine in this discussion. "The
General" as he is often referred to in the text
serves as the example of the "old school," both
as a male and as a parent. Since we are talking
of a coming of age story it is not unusual that
this character serves as a foil for the young
lady in question.
