1. Review: Northanger Abbey (TV movie; 1987) - Mary Kingswood
8 mei 2021 · The heroine, Catherine Morland, is a seventeen year old ingenue whose dull country life has been enlivened by much avid reading of Gothic novels ...
I can’t believe I missed this adaptation, since I have pretty much every other one in existence, but there it is. I’m only just discovering it now. Northanger Abbey is one of the least adapted of Jane Austen’s complete novels, and it’s easy to see why. The heroine, Catherine Morland, is a seventeen year old ingenue whose dull country life has been enlivened by much avid reading of Gothic novels. As a result, she sees melodrama everywhere and is pretty silly as a result. She’s not really a heroine that modern readers can root for (unlike spirited Elizabeth Bennet, or steadfast and sensible Anne Elliott, for example). She doesn’t even have Emma’s get-up-and-go. She’s more of a Fanny Price, only without the intelligence and moral compass. And of course the Gothic novel, which this is a pastiche of, is somewhat out of fashion these days.

The Play's The Thing Project This critically and commercially lambasted adaptation of Jane Austen's novel was broadcast in the Screen Two strand in 1987.

Hello friends and fellow Janeites, As we conclude our reading of Jane Austen’s novel Northanger Abbey together, it only seems fitting to spare a moment in which to peruse the film adaptations that have been dedicated to Austen’s final published bit of work.
