Isabella Thorpe from Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen’s most ghastly comic grotesques. How does Jane Austen craft Isabella Thorpe using indirect characterization? How does Jane Austen expose Isabella Thorpe’s essential characteristics in just one paragraph? How does Jane Austen expose Isabella Thorpe’s character through the (indirect) presentation of her language, diction, idiom? How does Jane Austen’s writing style incorporate indirect characterization?

In the lecture, I close read a passage from Northanger Abbey that concerns Isabella Thorpe—“‘Past three o’clock!’ It was inconceivable, incredible, impossible!”—in order to show Jane Austen’s beautiful construction of characterisation within only a few pointed sentences. I also consider a contemporary review of Northanger Abbey from The British Critic (March 1818) showing that Jane Austen’s powers of characterization were celebrated by her very first readers.
