| Observacións | "Northanger Abbey" foi publicada en conxunto con "Persuasion", en catro volumes. A obra está dispoñible dixitalizada na HathiTrust Digital Library: https://hdl.handle.net/2027/uiuo.ark:/13960/t09w14g77 "Northanger Abbey" foi escrita orixinalmente en 1798-17899 e estivo preparada para publicación en 1803 pero finalmente só saiu do prelo postumamente, en 1817 (aínda que na portada desa primeira edición se indica 1818), cando se puido recuperar o manuscrito: «Jane's first completed novel, Northanger Abbey, was originally accepted by a publisher in 1803 and was bought for the sum of £10. The publisher who purchased the manuscript was Benjamin Crosby & Co, who agreed that upon its sale it would be swiftly published. Six years had passed and the novel was still unpublished, resulting in a letter being sent by Jane to Crosby under a pseudonym expressing her displeasure at the delay. Jane told Crosby that if they delayed publishing her novel any longer, she would be "at liberty to secure the publication of my work, by applying elsewhere". After denying the agreement for an early publication date, Crosby offered to sell the manuscript back to Jane for the original price it was sold, and in 1816 her brother Henry bought it back from Crosby. Northanger Abbey was published posthumously in 1818, having been renamed three times and withheld from public view for over thirteen years. According to her sister Cassandra, Jane had written Northanger Abbey at some point between 1798 and 1799, thus meaning she was in her early twenties when she completed her first full work. Jane retouched the novel in 1816 when the manuscript was first returned to her, although we know at that time she was already working on Persuasion and likely explains why she stopped short of revising the novel to a fuller extent.» (Extraído de: https://janeausten.co.uk/blogs/jane-austen-life/behind-the-scenes-northanger-abbey) Nesa primeira edición pódese ler unha nota da autora sobre a "Northanger Abbey": «ADVERTISEMENT BY THE AUTHORESS, TO NORTHANGER ABBEY This little work was finished in the year 1803, and intended for immediate publication. It was disposed of to a bookseller, it was even advertised, and why the business proceeded no farther, the author has never been able to learn. That any bookseller should think it worth-while to purchase what he did not think it worth-while to publish seems extraordinary. But with this, neither the author nor the public have any other concern than as some observation is necessary upon those parts of the work which thirteen years have made comparatively obsolete. The public are entreated to bear in mind that thirteen years have passed since it was finished, many more since it was begun, and that during that period, places, manners, books, and opinions have undergone considerable changes.» Ademais, "Northanger Abbey" pódese ler como e-book en diferentes formatos no Proxecto Gutemberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/121 |
