It’s not the most well-known of Austen’s novels, but it has a special place in my heart. I read it as a young English teacher who had the good fortune to attend a summer session for Americans at Cambridge University (Cambridge, England, UK).

While I was taking classes on the 18th, 19th, and 20th century British novel, I was also visiting old ruins (including abbeys!), castles and more. This was the perfect setting for reading this spoof of the gothic novel. I loved it!
