I have not read Shelly (yet). I especially like the writing of the 19th century, really enjoyed Stoker, Stevenson, Wells, .... terrific. I have a dislike of most modern fiction. In fact, I read mysteries primarily only from the 30's and 40's.....can not read any of what is out now. Would you describe the style of writing in Dracula to be Gothic and something else, or is it pure Gothic? I wish I could read and enjoy Dickens and Melville. I have tried, but the writing is beyond me. I read a paragraph and wonder what was said. You are knowledgable, and a writer youself, yes? In any event, as you describe Shelly as beautiful, I would like to know if you could: 1) Recommend other 19th Century writers-Gothic or not, 2) Tell me if Shelly wrote other books than Frankenstein? And which are desired? Thank You.
