The first novel by the English writer Jane Austen (1775-1817). It was not published until after her death in 1818. To the author's well-known traditional ingredients and the moods of her protagonists, she adds the parody of Gothic novels, so fashionable at the time. A story full of emotion and passion, taken to the point of suspense, a mark of that genre, which would have pleased Cervantes and his immortal Quixote, an admirer and staunch critic of cavalry novels, without losing her trademark wit and social commentary.
