The paper proposes to read the dialogue of two generic traditions: the novel of manners and gothic fiction in Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. The generic dialogue in Northanger Abbeyconstitutes a particularly interesting case, as it appears at the very inception of the manorial tradition in fiction and thus bears a strong modelling function. The paper argues that Northanger Abbeyrepresents a subversive version of the novel of manners, which contextualizes and substantiates the transgressive character of the gothic.
