Fullerton Parsonage

Summary:

When in search for a tragic hero, no one would have thought to look twice at Henry Tilney. His life may have begun promising, being born under the roof of a former abbey as the second son of a very stern military man, but from this point on both Henry’s situation in life and his disposition were entirely against him…

[A full rewrite of Jane Austen's “Northanger Abbey”, this time told from the perspective of Henry Tilney. Since the original is named for the Tilney’s home, I thought this reimagining should be named for the Morland’s.
Written to be canon compliant, historically accurate and in the style of the original work.]

Notes:

Significant parts of this story are necessarily lifted word for word from the book and I made use of this wonderfully convenient online text to do it.

Chapter 1: This fic is now a free e-book!

Chapter Text

It took me 3 years, but I have finally rewritten the first chapter and Henry's confrontation with the General, gave the whole thing another proofread (thank you sister) and have now published it as a neat little e-book!

 

You can get it (for free) on platforms like Apple Books, Nook, Kobo, and more here: https://books2read.com/fullertonparsonage

Or you can download a Mobi, PDF or ePub directly from my website!

 

I won't be taking down this fic, but I haven't fully updated it to the rewritten version either. I did update the big improvements: stronger first chapters and a more satisfying confrontation between Henry and the General. But if you're interested in a version with a pretty cover, formatting, and less typo's, do go grab the ebook!
