The novel features Catherine Morland, a 17-year-old girl from a clergyman's family, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and understanding of her surroundings. Set against a backdrop of Gothic fiction, it humorously critiques the genre while exploring themes of innocence, imagination, and social dynamics. Key characters include her friends and romantic interests, such as James Morland and Henry Tilney. Completed in 1803 and published in 1817, it offers a witty take on the conventions of Gothic literature.
