Books Like Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen Collection)

Read more

Emma Thompson leads the ensemble cast of this Northanger Abbey with a crisp comic authority that suits Austen's most overtly satirical novel — her timing on the self-aware Gothic jokes is precise, and the supporting cast of Douglas Booth, Eleanor Tomlinson, Ella Purnell, Jeremy Irvine, and Lily Cole keeps the Regency social choreography lively across a lean six-hour runtime. Most of the titles here share that same theatrical production quality, landing in a similar length where Austen's wit doesn't need to be stretched, with a thread of classic literary prestige running through them.
