The first time I read it, I kept saying, "So THAT'S why she wrote that..." There are definite parallels in the plots. All of the "horrid novels" named by Isabella Thorpe that I've read so far are echoed in NA, though. Reading Udolpho will increase your understanding of Northanger Abbey tenfold!

As someone into "What Jane Read", Udolpho should be near the top of the list! I'd love to hear what you have to say about it, Nicola.

I've always wanted to read it because of the Austen connection, but having read your review and the comment from Kristy it sounds like a good read in its own right. I love your cover.

I was drawn into the magic of her prose and impressed with the human and spritual insights and subtleties she expertly shares with the reader. Emily and the people she encounters are quite the drama queens, but still a great read. It is gothic, romantic, poetic, and fantastical. I enjoyed the travels and descriptions of Gascony, Rousillon, Pyrenees, Italy-- a joy to read by the hearthfire. Ann Radcliffe wrote this book before she turned 30!
