Comments on: Review: Gothic Classics, featuring Northanger Abbey and The Mysteries of Udolpho http://austenblog.com/2007/06/13/review-gothic-classics-featuring-northanger-abbey-and-the-mysteries-of-udolpho/ Tue, 15 May 2012 15:23:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Alana http://austenblog.com/2007/06/13/review-gothic-classics-featuring-northanger-abbey-and-the-mysteries-of-udolpho/#comment-29379 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 21:02:26 +0000 http://www.austenblog.com/archives/2007/06/13/review-gothic-classics-featuring-northanger-abbey-and-the-mysteries-of-udolpho/#comment-29379 I got this in the mail just yesterday and I am thoroughly delighted- Catherine is just as she ought to be and Henry is quite charming. I also liked the artist’s interpretation of the Thorpes- I thought JT’s plaid coat when he was making off with Catherine was a perfect touch, mainly because it made me think “tacky used car salesman”, which is not too far off, I don’t think. The only thing that I would have liked would have been to have seen more of James, and maybe to get to see Henry in all his greatcoated glory.

(By the way, I have been lurking around this website for a while, but this is one of the few times I have posted, and the first not anonymously).

Udolpho and NA at least are contracted, scenes are cut. I think it helps Udolpho a bit, which has a tendency to ramble.

I ordered it from Amazon.co.uk Amazon Germany doesn’t have it, which is a pity as that would mean free shipping.

They call it Graphic classics: Gothic volume 14.

There is no picture available, but they have mentioned the names of some of the authors.

Thanks!

I have just read Maisy’s post about it being available at Amazon. I think I am going to buy it.

Can’t wait to read it :-)

So far, I’ve read Udolpho, Castle of Wolfenbach and (just finished) The Italian. Wolfenbach was definitely my favorite so far – a laugh a minute. Udolpho was the scariest. :)

I’ve just purchased a copy online because of your tip and I hope they do well. Comics and graphic novels are criminally overlooked in the literature world.
