Oh, I want to read that! It's on my list.
Want to read another one of the earliest Gothic
novels?
The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe.
Don't read too much of the Wiki article because of spoilers.
I read it as a two volume work from the public library (Everyman ed).
She spends a lot of time describing the country , but it never bogged down the story.
Likewise with character descriptions... very deep, detailed.
But it works because when you know the characters so intimately it's easy to get drawn into the drama.
There is even "comic relief" when things get really bad for the heroine (who faints a lot 😁).
I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so that I've been trying to find an affordable hardcover edition.
