"Mrs. Radcliffe was the most popular of the early Gothic writers. The Mysteries of Udolpho was read by just about everybody who read novels at all in the last few years of the 18th century or the first half of the 19th, and its author's influence upon the Gothic tradition both at the time and since has been immense. When Jane Austen was looking for a typical Gothic novel to satirize in Northanger Abbey (1818), she found that The Mysteries of Udolpho was still the best known and most widely read of them all." (St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers, p. 469).
