If you want an audiobook reading of The Mysteries of Udolpho by Anne Radcliffe, I recommend the version read by Kara Dahl Russell on her channel, Reading Rest Period.

(This reading is MUCH better than any of the librivox recordings - no shade to librivox, there are some wonderful readings and readers there, but librivox IS quite hit and miss).

    😂 I wouldn’t expect Henry James to think much of her work. The works he compares it to are 1) written by males, 2) aimed at a different audience. For all of its shock value, Udolpho remains relatively innocent. I am SO enjoying this! Thank you so much!
