description: After the young Catherine Morland falls in love with Henry Tilney, Henry's father invites her to stay at their home, Northanger Abbey. In her brief stay there, Catherine is carried away by imaginations of Gothic horror, induced by Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho; this aspect of Austen's novel is particularly notable for her criticism of the flightiness inspired by Gothic literature. Austen's development of Catherine's relationship becomes a continuation of her entertaining commentary on romantic triteness.
