Evidence: | 'We must not judge [Ann Radcliffe's novels], now that the taste in which they were written is
exhausted and palled, by our modern feelings. The best test of their worth is contemporary
opinion, and tales which delighted Burke, Fox, and Sheridan, must, when compared with the
novels then published, have possessed a singular amount of merit.' |
