  1. 1. Nightmare Abbey

    A comic, mock‑Gothic tale set in a gloomy country house where a melancholic host and a parade of eccentric visitors—literary dilettantes, would‑be poets, political theorists and romantic suitors—trade sharp, witty dialogue and engage in absurd misunderstandings; the story satirizes Romantic melancholy, Gothic sensationalism and contemporary literary and political fashions, exposing the characters’ pretensions through farce and witty debate and resolving the lovers’ entanglements with playful irony.
