It is almost certainly public domain everywhere. There are copies in Internet Archive and Wikimedia Commons, and a transcription is being worked on in wikisource. -- Beardo (talk) 17:59, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Do we know the original?

So, the article is clear, Teuthold's translation is deeply faulty. Yet, I notice that even the most recent De Valancourt edition is based on his text. Do we know if the German original survives and could be given a better translation? --Svartalf (talk) 11:57, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Translator

The Northanger Abbey article says that the translator's real name was Peter Will. -- Beardo (talk) 18:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
