Northanger Abbey - A Critical Study Guide has been written with I/GCSE, A Level and IB students in mind. The guide focuses on the novel's relationship to the gothic genre, refers to the historical and literary context and examines elements within the novel such as themes, setting, form and structure. It also contains significant extracts from Austen's novel to do with the gothic as well as several key scenes from Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho.

This study guide is designed to support a student's reading of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. It includes reference to the Gothic genre, historical context, major themes, contemporary critics, key quotations, essay questions and a model answer. There are revision notes included towards the end of the guide, giving a brief summary of all the major points, as well as a nineteenth-century account of how the novel came to be written.
