I'm a bit ashamed...but not too much. This book is 106 pages long. I abandoned it on page 80. I just couldn't do it anymore. He lost me about page 50 and I kept falling asleep after a few minutes of trying to muddle through. I got sick of wasting evenings so figured I'd put it away for another time.
Manfred's plight was reminiscent of Henry VIII---quite ridiculous, but I guess if it worked for the king...
Horace Walpole was responsible for redefining the word gothic, in terms of decor style, as well as being the author of the first gothic novel. Published in 1764, Otranto was hugely influential on countless works afterward and has been called one of the six most important books in the English language, in terms of its influence. So greatly did it feed the imaginations of later authors that it wasn't too long before it began to be parodied, as in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey.

I did it. I restarted this hopelessly melodramatic piece of 18th century drivel and finished it to the last bitter dregs. It was quite ridiculous but a couple humorous parts were reminiscent of Danny Kaye's Court Jester so it wasn't a total waste.

Horace Walpole é o pai do Goticismo, e "Otranto", o seu filho prodígio.
No princípio, nossa literatura era medieval, permeada por tiranos nobres e seus castelos assombrados por sangue e vinganças; e este modelo é mérito exclusivo do autor inglês.
Em sua maior ópera, vê-se a genialidade do medo prematuro, que baseia-se em um terror fantasioso. Em seu enredo enxuto e apressado, movimenta-se cada palavra com a ação do presente, o sabor do passado e o temor do futuro.
É brilhante e por tal, é também responsável por inaugura-la: a literatura gótica.… (lisätietoja)
