The Mysteries of Udolpho

The mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Ward Radcliffe, Bonamy Dobr�e

Thinking of all my #HashtagBrigade friends today. Took a train ride through the rainforest on St. Kitts. SO much #VerdantVerdure. Just in case you were wondering, I didn't cry. Nor did I faint. 😂
Actually, I enjoyed every minute! As it turns out, #VerdantVerdure is truly quite beautiful! 🙂 @BarkingMadRead

Ruthiella But did you maybe spontaneously compose a sonnet to remark upon its beauty? 😂 4mo

BarkingMadRead I‘m so glad you stayed dry and awake 🤣 4mo

julieclair @Ruthiella Unfortunately, no sonnets spontaneously sprung to mind. 😂 4mo

julieclair @BarkingMadRead It was a minor miracle. 😂 4mo

TheAromaofBooks If not a sonnet, at least an ode?? Emily managed to work them in even between fainting fits! 😂 4mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Since I did not faint, I was unable to compose an ode. 😂 4mo

so-so

Wow, this book. Long and winding, with so many mysteries that could have been wrapped up so much sooner. Thank god for @BarkingMadRead and the #hashtagbrigade for getting us through it together. I'm glad I read it, just for the extra understanding it gives me of Catherine in Northanger Abbey
I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was 50% shorter, and had 50% less fainting 😅

The Mysteries of Udolpho | Ann Radcliffe

pick

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I low-key enjoyed this one 😂 It was objectively terrible, with a plot that went nowhere, absolutely no sense of suspense or pacing, and wildly unlikely twists. Yet despite her tendency to burst into tears and/or faint in basically every chapter, I found myself liking Emily. I appreciated her commitment to what she believed was right and her determination to follow her morals even when they weren't the easy path. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) This is also a book I've seen referenced so many other places, and it was fun and interesting to read it for myself and see how it's influenced other writers and books. I don't see myself rereading this one, but it was an entertaining one-time read, especially thanks to the team moaning and groaning of the #HashtagBrigade @BarkingMadRead 😂

#WinterGames #HolidayBookDragons @LiseWorks 4mo

BarkingMadRead 🤣🤣🤣 so so bad but maybe a little good? I‘m still conflicted 🤣 4mo

Librarybelle I‘m behind on this one, but I‘m not minding it, so I share in your unpopular opinion! It‘s my second read through…I oddly enjoy these over-the-top classics. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @Librarybelle - Once I just started leaning into the absolute absurdity of it, I liked it much better. I don't think Radcliffe intended to make me snort-laugh as often as she did 😂 😂 😂 4mo

BarkingMadRead Probably not 🤣🤣🤣 4mo

AnishaInkspill When i finished reading this last year, in places it was torture but by the end I couldn't beleive I was thinking of reading this again 😂 there's just something about it 😂 4mo

Lcsmcat I‘m with you. I read it years ago, because of Jane Austen, and just decided to go along for the ride rather than take it seriously. 4mo

Daisey I recently went back and looked at some of my own posts from reading this and realized I had much the same experience reading it, but I still have no desire to reread it yet. 4mo

robinb Tears/fainting. 😂 I can relate! I‘m reading a series with a heroine that I really like (strong, independent) but with a tendency for tears and “wobbly knees”. LOL 4mo

AllDebooks Thank god for you guys, this was a tough read 🫣 4mo

TheAromaofBooks Verdant is going to give us all reading PTSD forever 😂 Thank you so much for hosting!! I didn't enjoy this one, but it was an interesting read, and I can see why it was so popular in its day. 4mo

eeclayton TGIO! Thanks @barkingmadread and #hashtagbrigade I could never have done this without you! 4mo

AnishaInkspill yeyyy, what a marathon. I didn't read this with you all and read it last year, and was really with you all, if its any cnsolation this took me months to read. 4mo

julieclair This was quite the journey! How will I ever survive without my daily dose of tears and verdure? 😂💚 Thanks for this, @BarkingMadRead , I would have never made it through on my own. 4mo

kwmg40 I don't think I would have gotten through this without the #hashtagbrigade and your encouragement, @BarkingMadRead! It was a struggle but I'm glad I finished the book, if only to check another book off my #1001 list. 4mo

Luke-XVX Haha I stand corrected! (Now I remember her from Patriot Games) 4mo

mcctrish Todays chapter could have been the whole book #justsaying 4mo

eeclayton At least now we know what was behind the veil. Even if it was a very WTF kinda explanation. 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Right?! 😂 Also, who else was shocked that Laurentini is her first name?! I definitely thought it was a last name. 4mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly that‘s the mystery right there 🤣🤣🤣 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish The real mystery of Udolpho: Who Are These Udolpho People Who Name Their Kid Laurentini? 4mo

TheAromaofBooks @mcctrish - LITERALLY what I was thinking when I was reading this - this is like a synopsis of all the actually interesting parts of this story that we weren't allowed to know about for some reason 😂 4mo

peanutnine @TheAromaofBooks I definitely think it would have been more effective if we had learned what Emily read/saw earlier on and then revealed what it all meant at the end. Explaining it away immediately after revealing the mystery made it so much less shocking as a reader 4mo

TheAromaofBooks @peanutnine - I totally agree!! I think if we knew what Emily did - that there was a half-decayed body in a hidden room - EVERYTHING would have been way creepier than just “something is there“ - and then in the end we get the big reveal about it not being a real body. As it is it was just kind of - it's a body! PSYCH! The end. lol 4mo

Bookwormjillk This book is almost over and I feel like we‘re still in the introduction. 4mo

eeclayton @mcctrish I also really want to know what she saw behind that veil in the castle of Udolpho 😡 4mo

mcctrish @eeclayton is this the mystery of udolpho? Unfinished thoughts? Things not described? Conversations not had? Things we missed cuz we fainted ? it‘s certainly not tears not shed #rivershavebeencried #lakeshavebeenfilled 4mo

dabbe Your picture says EVERYTHING about this book that I simply could not finish. Absolute kudos to all of you who could! You are my inspiration! 💙❄️💙 4mo

AllDebooks @mcctrish 😅🤣🤣 I actually feel cheated. This is supposed to be one of the most iconic, ground-breaking gothic novels and it's pure melodrama eeked out forrrrreeeevvvvvvver #teenagevoiceandeyeroll 👀🙄 Where all the ghosts and mysteries at? 4mo

AllDebooks If you use the analogy of a walk in the park for the twists and turns of actual plot alongside all the flimflam melodrama that padded it out, we actually just walked every bloody peak in the Pyrenees. 4mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly 🤣🤣🤣 4mo

AllDebooks Oh, we are so close to the end. The book, sanity, who knows? 🥳 I'm struck by the difference in writing style between this and Frankenstein, considering there are just over 20 years between publications. Mary Shelley was still in her teens when she wrote it. 4mo

eeclayton Not to defend the Count, but I have the impression that he's been friends with Du Pont for much longer than with Emily, so it kinda makes sense to me that he wants to promote his happiness. Which of course doesn't make him any less annoying from E's point of view. 4mo

BarkingMadRead @eeclayton that‘s a very good point 4mo

TheAromaofBooks @eeclayton - I also think the Count sees sweet, lonely Emily at a time when being a single woman was actually somewhat unsafe & knows that his young friend is an upstanding guy who loves her and would take good care of her (vs taking advantage of her and stealing all her money). Like it's annoying to E because she doesn't want to marry him, but lots of people married for convenience, so unless the Count forces the issue, I can't fault him too much 4mo

I'm currently participating in the final #hashtagbrigade #buddyread of the year. 10ish chapters left, and I just don't care anymore. I've never read a book with more loose ends, dead ends, and 'we won't talk about that' plot devices in my life. Thank goodness for @BarkingMadRead keeping us sane and the humour flowing. Otherwise, I would have bailed around chapter 10!
FYI, I got bored and did a word count. 🙄😅

And I had also tried to read it a few years ago. I just couldn't do it. Again.

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks without Annette, we wouldn‘t know a damn thing 🤣 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly There doesn‘t seem to be much acknowledgement that Annette‘s husband has disappeared! 4mo

Clare-Dragonfly Linguistic note: I see that Annette has switched from calling Emily “mamselle” to “madam”! This matches up with something I noted in the book I just finished—in English, Mrs was for a long time just a title of respect for an adult woman of a certain class, even if she wasn‘t married. The Mrs versus Miss for marital status distinction wasn‘t solidified until the mid-19th century. Emily is probably Madam now that she‘s inherited.

Clare-Dragonfly The count is so fatherly to Emily! Throwing his buddy Du Pont at her just like her real dad did with Valancourt. 🙄 And pretty condescending to boot. 5mo

TheAromaofBooks I just thought it was hilarious that after all the times Ludo locked up Annette in a room, he finally got himself locked up for a change of pace 😂 I'm worried about him, though, because despite his room-locking tendencies, he's actually one of my favorite characters! 5mo

He questions how long the count has been her friend? Meanwhile E has spent about 32 minutes in his actual company and expects her to marry him after whoring and gambling ? RUN AWAY EMILY 5mo

Bklover @mcctrish yes! When I think of all the weeping and fainting over V it makes me want to scream. You are right- she doesn‘t even really know him! 5mo

mcctrish It‘s nice she had him to focus on while at Udolpho but cut him loose now 5mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bklover #accurate 5mo

Bookwormjillk At first I was kind of on V's side because yeah she just met this Count guy. But then he admitted to it all so bye V. And what is the story of the picture? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk everyone is crying 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I meant the one that Emily's dad had that Dorethee was refusing to talk about. She is just not coming back? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk ohhhhhhhh that picture! We may never know…. 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly V keeps going “I‘m terrible and it‘s exactly like the Count says” except no one actually lays out what Emily or V is thinking. I‘d put money on V‘s actual actions not being as bad as what Emily thinks. Of course, I don‘t know whether he‘ll actually TELL HER that before they both die of old age! 5mo

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes I actually can that‘s why I was worried 😂 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m relieved that we made it back to this castle. I spent like 14 chapters wondering when Emily was going to figure out that Udolpho was the creepy castle she saw before. Then I realized it was in Italy so it must be a different castle, and I wondered why they spent so much time being aware of that creepy castle! I also realized that the convent Blanche lived in must be a different one. I think Radcliffe has too many settings! 🙄 5mo

mcctrish @Ruthiella she is now exhausted by her tears so maybe we can catch a break ( I didn‘t even realize she was crying. Again. ) 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Macaroni obviously isn‘t going to kill her, because he wouldn‘t inherit her estates (I presume her closest living relative would, and that‘s the mom‘s brother, whom it would be a lot harder to get the property from). But this seems like a lovely place so I‘m suspicious of the niceness. 5mo

Bklover To me this book feels so much like it was written by a man! All the fainting and crying and weak women. And I mean a man back in that time. (edited) 5mo

Bookwormjillk So weird. Glad she made a friend though. Random sea nymph poem inserted here. 5mo

julieclair I‘m glad I don‘t have to “analyze” this book for an English class. I don‘t know what I‘d do about that sea nymph song! 😂 Which, by the way, was sung in the audio version and was completely tuneless!But at least Emily has made a friend. 5mo

Bookwormjillk What exactly is the mystery here? I am impressed by the quotes at the beginning of every chapter. #NoGoogleBackThen (edited) 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m going to be really annoyed if the creeper is Valancourt, when Radcliffe gave us a whole chapter about how he‘s distracted and doing stuff other than pining over Emily. 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I thought the same 🤣🤣 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I keep thinking it‘s him too 5mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk 🤣🤣🤣 5mo

mcctrish I laughed out loud learning that the Count‘s revenge fantasy was fuelled by intel gleaned from Annette‘s “thoughtless prattle” anyone who can follow her circuitous rambling and concoct a plan deserves to succeed 5mo

mcctrish @AllDebooks so much unnecessary language 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I was just thinking this couldn‘t possibly be set up by Macaroni because he doesn‘t need to be this subtle when he can just threaten her. And I was proven right! I‘m wondering if her aunt is really dead? Was that the body she saw? And if they thought Ludo was dead and he wasn‘t, could that be the case again? 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I wonder the same. It‘s dark. And she‘s … Emily… so it could totally be a mistake! 5mo

mcctrish It‘s dark and she‘s Emily 🤣🤣🤣 doesn‘t macaroni want the aunt dead so he can marry Emily and get the property? 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m pretty sure no one in this story has first aid and it shows 5mo

ElizaMarie I am getting super confused with where we are- I get confused when the chapters aren't labeled like just 1, 2, 3.... but when they do Vol and then Ch and then blah! the Crying!!! Where are we!? I thought I was reading #AChapterADay but now I am confused -- anyone have a table? 5mo

Bookwormjillk I thought this was a picture of a chicken nugget at first. Have a good trip! @ElizaMarie I don‘t have a tracker for this one sorry. 5mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie we are reading a chapter a day, the book is divided this way, so I‘ve been posting what volume and chapter every day! 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Barnardine is a total jerk! Oh, I will strongly imply I killed her aunt and then get horribly offended when she thinks I killed her aunt. 🙄🙄🙄 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly the most bizarre conversation ever 🙄 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly Banardo and Annette have a shared ability to say nothing but use a lot of words #bothshouldbeshakennotstirred 5mo

mcctrish And why was dumbass Emily so resistant to walking to where Banardo was minding the gate? #annettegetsherstepsin (edited) 5mo

Bklover @mcctrish 😂😂😂. 5mo

Bklover @BarkingMadRead That IS Annette!! 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bklover right?!? I can hear her voice in my head whenever Annette talks 🤣 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish 😂😂😂 5mo

Bklover Yes!! Me too! 5mo

TheAromaofBooks My favorite part of today's chapter was when Emily told Annette she needed to stop crying so much 😂 5mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 5mo

peanutnine @mcctrish omg they say nothing but use a lot of words 💯🤣 5mo

mcctrish @TheAromaofBooks the pot calling the kettle black 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly Very confusing, is L dead or not? And also is he a good guy or a complete asshole? Because if somebody needs to stay in a room to protect themselves, seems to me the thing to do is leave THEM the key, not take it away and go join the fighting. 5mo

mcctrish Everything is so halfassed in this story! Nobody ever gets the whole story out, nobody reads the papers before burning, describes what‘s in the frame, figures out who‘s been left for dead, actually kills the person they want dead! I‘m just supposed to be happy there were no tears 5mo

Bookwormjillk Long line to poison that dude. Also did I miss why she‘s so determined to find Auntie? Auntie doesn‘t like her except for that one sort of compliment that one time. 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I have no idea, if I were Emily, I‘d be trying to escape. Forget auntie. 5mo

AllDebooks Radcliffe is overly fond of the word 'wither'. There has been an awful lot of withering lately 5mo

TheAromaofBooks I honestly kind of admired Emily in this chapter - she's completely terrified but still determined to find her aunt and make sure she's okay. And she seems to be fainting more than crying; haven't decided whether or not that's an improvement 😂 5mo

BarkingMadRead @TheAromaofBooks I know, like what‘s worse? The fainting or the crying? At least the fainting takes less time 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly And then there are the times she almost faints but sits down and breathes through it… 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly The noodle gang 😂😂😂 5mo

peanutnine Annette is definitely my favorite character, her stories are ridiculous but so entertaining, especially when she was sworn to secrecy. Also the line "But the faculty of speech was never long withheld from Annette" had me laugh out loud ? 5mo

dabbe @TheAromaofBooks OMG ... so true!!!! 😂😂😂 5mo

mcctrish I realized at the start of my reading today we are only 43% through this nonsense and I could cry. And then we get a short chapter which I should be thrilled about, except we‘ve been reading for 100 years and nothing but crying has happened except V, after moping around in Emily‘s absence has moved to Paris to become a club kid 🤯 #wherethefuckisthisgoing (edited) 5mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish 🤣🤣🤣 this is scarily accurate 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t like the short chapters! I am updating my reading percentage daily in Storygraph and when the percentage stays the same Storygraph thinks I haven‘t read any of this book 🤣 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly So V hung around until his regiment couldn‘t do without him anymore. And since they needed him so badly he… made social connections and started a gambling habit? 🤨 5mo

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly boys are dumb and story graph needs to understand that 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5mo

ElizaMarie @MccTrish - YES!!! This book needs to #DOSOMETHING !!! #GOSOMEWHERE !! 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly StoryGraph will not like my Serial app micro-aggression reading style 🤣🤣 5mo

mcctrish @ElizaMarie it‘s ridiculous 5mo

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish micro-aggression is a good way to read this book 🤣 It isn‘t Storygraph‘s fault, I would be able to use page numbers if I were reading a physical book, but also there‘s *no way* I would read this in hard copy! 5mo

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly same 5mo
