Superb

A magnificent and sometimes shocking novel. Powerful and it grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go. Funny, tragic, gut wrenching, and one of the classic works of modern literature.

The Mysteries of Udolpho

Ann Radcliffe | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

9.3

(3 Ratings)

Book Rating

The Mysteries of Udolpho is commonly known as the first 'Gothic Novel', and is cited in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. I wish that in British Literature/HS European Literature classes in the USA taught this instead of Jane Eyre.
This book is very long, which may seem daunting, but I believe it's worth it. I enjoy Radcliffe's writing style as well. You can really see why this book is used as a template for many gothic novels/films, like Crimson Peak.
Again, this won't be to everyone's taste, but if you like classic literature, I consider it a must-read.

A Classic Of Children's Literature

I liked this book a lot tbh. The ending was cute, the illustrations were nice, and the writing didn't "talk down" to readers like some picture books do. The only complaint I have is that the pacing felt a little rushed. But maybe that's just me.
