In her novel NORTHANGER ABBEY, Jane Austen mentions several Gothic
novels by name. By the time the book saw print, these lesser works
were already deservedly obscure (as, indeed, almost all disposable
popular fiction soon becomes). For years they were assumed to be
not simply fiction, but figments from a novel; but enterprising
scholars managed to unearth copies of the original "shilling
shockers." Eliza Parsons was a prolific and popluar writer at the
end of the eighteenth century. Her works are generally forgotten,
now, but two of them -- including THE CASTLE OF WOLFENBACH -- were
immortalized in that list of seven "Horrid Novels" Jane Austen
slipped into NORTHANGER ABBEY.
