Perhaps the first full-length novel written by Jane Austen is Northanger Abbey. The book was written between 1798 and 1799, and the copyright was sold to Benjamin Crosby & Son in 1803. The publisher did not bring it to print, and sold the rights and manuscript back to Austen in 1815. The first edition was published in 1817 by John Murray.
