I agree with several other comments that I want to read “The Mysteries of Udolpho” ever time I read Northanger Abbey!

The Mysteries of Udolpho is one of the books I’ve always wanted to read. Who could resist Henry Tilney’s recommendation: “The Mysteries of Udolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again; I remember finishing it in two days — my hair standing on end the whole time.” (Chapter 14).

I would love to win a copy of this book!

I’d love to be entered for this drawing. Northanger Abbey is one of my favorites, and my only knowledge of Mysteries of Udolpho is from the Gothic Classics graphic novel.

I love already having read Udolpho. It took a plane ride for me to finish it. :)

I simply love The Mysteries of Udolpho….I also enjoyed The Italian as well which is also by Radcliffe. And The Monk is not only one of my favorite books but my pick for best gothic contribution of the time. I always love coming across references to literature of that time in my reading. The tracking down of some of the books can be hard…but well worth it.

Everytime I read Northanger Abbey, I want to read Udolpho.
Don’t know why I never have.
