* Many of [[Jane Austen]]'s characters display hints of genre savviness, from [[Pride and Prejudice|Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth]] discussing the moral of their story, to [[Mansfield Park|Sir Thomas Bertram]] predicting that inviting his poor niece to live with him will end with her [[Kissing Cousins|marrying one of his sons]]. Catherine Morland of ''[[Northanger Abbey]]'' is also ''very'' savvy about her preferred genre -- "horrid" Gothic novels. [[Wrong Genre Savvy|Unfortunately]], the story she's actually ''in'' is a [[Regency England|Regency]] romance; fortunately, her love interest Henry Tilney is even more savvy. |
