NORTHANGER ABBEY & THE GOTHIC

The Gothic Old building in antique style/ gothic windows Innocent heroine Villain Hero whose identity/integrity is doubted Ruins Ghost/ monk-like figure Mystery

The Gothic Storm Strange noises Sliding panel Dark atmosphere Missing document Servant, preferably with a secret Staircase, preferably winding

Romance Story of adventure and love 16 th & 17 th centuries = representation of life a cynical one. Witty and critical with an ornate classical & rhetorical style 2 nd ½ 18thC – rejection of this and looking for a more natural approach

Northanger Abbey Burlesque = intention of humour – treats lofty material humorously or pretends something ordinary is significant & dignified Parody of the gothic novel – especially, Ann Radcliffe’s – The Mysteries of Udolpho Also Burney and Richardson

How does she do it? Ridicules romantic fiction by offering models of what is expected of a heroine, and denying Catherine these qualities Wit – paradox, antithesis, epigram & pun Irony – dramatic, verbal & socratic Satire Dialogue Voice & viewpoint Mood Sentence contstuction

Irony Dramatic irony = situation is apparent to the reader, but not to the character (laundry list) Verbal irony = words used in an opposite manner to their literal meaning (‘the delicacy, discretion, originality of thought, and literary taste which marked the reasonableness of that attachment’). Use of negatives: ‘without’ ‘never’ ‘instead of’ Socratic irony = adopts a character’s viewpoint to ridicule them – shows us her characters foibles (dialogue of Isabella, Thorpe & Mrs Allen reported second hand as so tedious)

Dialogue Direct speech Indirect speech Interior dialogue

Satire Ridiculing of faults of human nature - Result of irony Primary focus here is Gothic and romance literature – the misuse of it Sharpest satire is at the expense of the Thorpes

Voice and Viewpoint Omniscient Interior dialogue – Catherine’s point of view Austen’s own voice

Sentence Construction Length & construction is important Action & events = short sentences Elaborate construction of the period, with many dependent and linked clauses

Purpose? Reading novels causes foolish imagination in the reader and leads to all sorts of dangers Reading novels is alright as long as the reader doesn’t mistake them for real life Its not necessary to find danger in novels, there’s plenty in real life

Purpose? Is she ridiculing society in Bath and elsewhere Is she preaching about the dangers of society? Is she having fun with her readers to entertain them?

Romanticism ? How does her purpose relate to the concerns of the module?  Valuing the imagination, the individual & idealism  Search for meaning through relationship with the natural world & wider social/political contexts  Examine or affirm the power of the imagination to inform, illuminate and transform human experience  Experimentation with ideas & forms may reflect or challenge ways of thinking
