Satire Ain't Easy

I've discussed Northanger Abbey -- Jane Austen's quintessential satire of the Gothic romance -- here before.

I was looking up Jane Austen links for next month's KTC selection recently when I found this way cool Jane Austen site, and, within, this hilarious bit



a totally dead serious and wildly ironic 1964 cover of Northanger Abbey.

I wish Jane Austen could have been alive to see it. She would have died.

Teehee. The cover says it's "A Paperback Library Gothic." Wow.
