For Flashback Friday, take a short trip to 2020 -- but also, can you believe that was 3 years ago already? "On the Edges of Gothic Parody: The Neglected Work of Mrs F.C. Patrick and Sarah Green," by Mercy Cannon https://muse.jhu.edu/article/758903 Please Read ECF on Project MUSE. #C18th #18thC

Abstract: This article examines two novels that parody popular, late eighteenth-century fiction: Mrs F.C. Patrick, More Ghosts! (1798) and Sarah Green, Romance Readers and Romance Writers (1810). Both texts embrace and resist elements of gothic romance through intertextuality and generic instability. These two novels are marked by dynamic ambivalence: the writers overtly disavow the gothic genre, yet fail to abandon gothic sympathies for a consistent parody. Dynamic ambivalence empowers the reader to take multiple, conflicting positions within and against the plot. Both authors warn readers that in order to strengthen one’s mind, one must be insensible to melodrama and resist romantic extravagances; nevertheless, each exposes this stance as a façade. Using comic elements to deflect criticism and satire to establish their moral vision, Patrick and Green aim to elicit sympathy for female characters, even when they are foolish, deceived, or debauched ...

A woman holds back a bed curtain with her left hand and holds high a smoking lantern with her right hand. She looks at a male body in the bed, with a stab wound in his chest.

I think Tale of Terror is my favorite Snow White adaptation. It reminds me a bit of Ever After (Cinderella) where it aims to feel more like a period drama. Much darker than Ever After, but gives me the same kind of vibes.

Napkins with 18th century landscapes printed on them. Got them from one of my English lit professors back in college. #18thc
