The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story31 reviews Horace Walpole Oxford University Press, USA, 1998 Lovely, trashy early novel The Castle of Otranto isn't the best novel you'll ever read, since its characters are more like "types" than living human beings.

At first glance, Germinie Lacerteux is about a middle-age poor maid who lives a miserable life. If it stopped there, it wouldn't be the classic it is. It's not a classic in the strictest sense of the word - it's not just about an unfulfilled love, or the ambitions of the poor, etc. What's so ...             Wuthering Heights (Barnes & Noble Classics)3 reviews Emily Bronte Barnes & Noble Classics, 2005 Dont miss out*S* + Interesting... + Bronte wrote in this book These books should still be required reading.
