Discuss Austen's depiction of space in Northanger Abbey. How are various locales described?

Austen is careful to invest each place with the personality of its owner. For example, Northanger Abbey reflects the General's preoccupation with outdoing his neighbors. The massive house is filled with luxurious furniture, and the General's greenhouses grow exotic fruits that are not widely available in England. In contrast, Henry's Woodston is a modest home that reflects his good taste and wiser judgment.
