Abstract
It is well known that Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey is a parody of the Gothic genre, and this paper supports that reading. However, this paper analyzes the novel through the use of Austen’s identification of the terms “sense” and “sensibility” that she constructs in Sense and Sensibility to explain specifically how and why Austen parodies Gothic novels that were all the fashion in her day.
