The Mysteries of Udolpho: a Romance
The Mysteries of Udolpho: a Romance: Easyread Large Edition | Ann Ward Radcliffe
2 posts | 2 read
This gothic horror by Radcliffe is considered an evolutionary work between the enlightenment and idealism, as it is an established horror story. Emily, the protagonist is a young woman of mature thoughts and has deep love for the sublimity of nature. The novel pursues her struggle as she tries to resolve her father's teachings of reserve and temperance with the reckless passions of love and fear. Thrilling!

#austeninaugust2019 #whatwouldjaneread @Crinoline_Laphroaig I think Jane definitely read this gothic romance as research for her novel Northanger Abbey. And perhaps she was scandalized - but I like to think she was more fun than that.

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've never read Mysteries of A. I need too. 5y

Starting my next chronological gothic novel. I have never read any of Ann Radcliffe's novels so this should interesting. I'm going to count this for February, but getting a start on it now since it's a longer novel and I'm reading it on #serialreader.
