Wit Beyond Measure

Meet Catherine Morland

September 22, 2021 • Wit Beyond Measure - Elle Kammerer and Catrina Mayer • Season 3 • Episode 1

Chapters 1-4 of Northanger Abbey

Catherine Morland is an ordinary girl. She is pretty, but not remarkable. She is intelligent, but not a prodigy. She is well off, but not wealthy. Most importantly, she is our heroine. Why, because that is, literally, what Northanger Abbey tells us.

Elle and Catrina start Northanger Abbey. Known as Austen's Gothic novel, this less popular book was actually the first complete novel she wrote. What's more, it is actually a parody of both the Gothic and sentimental romances of the time.

Join us as we dive deep into this spooky book, just in time for fall!
