EDITORIAL :
Though Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen's earliest novels, it was not published until after her death--well after she'd established her reputation with works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. Of all her novels, this one is the most explicitly literary in that it is primarily concerned with books and with readers. In it, Austen skewers the novelistic excesses of her day made popular in such 18th-century Gothic potboilers as Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers all figure into Northanger Abbey, but with a decidedly satirical twist. Consider Austen's introduction of her heroine: we are told on the very first page that "no one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine."
REVIEW :
This is the first Sparrow book I've seen in person and I'll definitely check out the others! Have you seen his current work on the new Tank Girl miniseries. While the author certainly gives good pointers on how to order a home, the presentation is just. I was able to answer all the questions on my mind about adultery with the help of this book.. It shows the complex, and often compromising position average Hungarian citizens had as they were part of the communist party. I guess I'm the only one who found it a waste time. Kathy leads me by the hand and gives me practical ways to get the job done in sprints as well as long distance runs. Once you start reading, you can't put it down. A nice addition to your bookshelf. This ARRL's Low Power Communication: The Art and Science of Qrp 3rd Edition is a good general Ham handbook with a lot of low power operating tips that make 100 watt Ham radio
