I think that in many of these early Gothic novels, they turn out to only be partially dramatic. It's almost as if they are just at the cusp of a new genre but it hadn't been perfected yet.Kristen M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4120610619207414251.post-69314240346461892232009-10-09T01:17:54.564+10:002009-10-09T01:17:54.564+10:00Laura: I think I'll read Northanger Abbey agai...Laura: I think I'll read <i>Northanger Abbey</i> again soon, while <i>Udolpho</i> is still fresh in my mind.<br><br>Amy: Well, maybe I was having a blonde week ... or we have different taste in heroines.
