Maria Edgeworth. Letters for Literary Ladies. --This is Edgeworth's first work, mostly interesting to me for the exchange of letters between Caroline and Julia, a short tale of seduction and ruin.
Eliza Fenwick. Secresy; or, The Ruin on the Rock. --Wildly dramatic end adds some punch to this novel that analyzes education and cultural notions of what is "natural" and what is "civilized."
Isabella Kelly. The Abbey of St. Asaph. --Wonderfully fun read--the talking skull that is a hoax, an abandoned baby in a storm, the abandoned wife, the innocent recruited by a brothel, the kindly old man that keeps stomping on his wig, a duel, a rape attempt, a "ghost"-- need I say more?
Matthew Lewis. The Monk. --I've taught this novel to several classes of bored freshman who all were surprised they loved this book. A wild tale involving ghosts, elopements, duels, dreams, seduction, homosexual desire, magic, riots, voyeurism, rape, and damnation by the devil himself!
Mary Meeke. Count St. Blancard. --A tale of the sufferings of two generations of a French family.
Charlotte Smith. Montalbert. The heroine must survive the evil suitor, an earthquake, imprisonment in a lonely castle, a pirate ship, a husband's jealousy, and madness!
Richard Warner. Netley Abbey. --A medieval tale of knights, their ladies, and jousts. (See this page if you are interested in the real Netley Abbey)

"In our memory France has given her dresses to the other nations; but it was reserved for the
Graces of Great Britain to take the lead in Fashion, and to show that, if they do not surpass, they
certainly equal the elegance of the most celebrated Grecian dresses. In short, beauty, shape, and
taste are no where more general, nor any where better united, than in England."
From p. 2 ...
"The Plan of the second Volume is exactly similar to the first, of which it is a continuation; and all the new dresses inserted in the GALLERY of FASHION are not imaginary, but really existing ones."
