Ever wonder why Jane Austen wrote so much about rich people? Here's a bit of a spoiler: it certainly wasn't because she was poor! We are back with the history of Jane Austen and some context behind her novel Northanger Abbey, where we will teach out all about gothic novels, Regency Era life, and also who Samuel's favorite modern horror author is! So be sure to get out your tea and crumpets for this one, and maybe save some for next week's Part 3 where we will use this context to analyze the book and give it our final reviews.
