The Mysteries of Udolpho
by Ann Radcliffe
adventurous
dark
emotional
funny
mysterious
reflective
tense
slow-paced
So interesting. I feel like I know the gothic genre down to its roots now :).
I didn't love the style--it felt like something I would have written in a fit of romanticism (which means it's pretentious, repetitive, and overdone) :). But I think some parts of the story are of value, and the experience of reading it gave me a glimpse into the literary world of the end of the 18th century (and at the turn of the century). I think I need to reread Northanger Abbey now :)
