I've read several of Shakespeare's plays, but I cannot say I am a large fan of his. However, I have read Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte, and absolutely loved it. What I don't understand is why so many people make fun of it.

uhm... i actually have nothing to add to this thread, but i thought i'd point out that you made a spelling mistake in the thread title and poll. it's "contemporary" and "contemporaries".
don't mind me, i'm just being pedantic sweatdrop

Personally, I love Bronte and Shakespeare. I tried reading Udolpho over the summer, but I didn't have a lot of time on my hands, and I think that I definitely could have used some when reading it. I had to return my copy to the library about a quarter of the way through, and I haven't found it online (on Project Gutenburg or anything... I had hoped...) so unfortunately I don't know how long it will take me to finish it. Maybe next summer...

What's Udolpho like? I've been meaning to read it for a while but uni reading lists got in the way somewhat.

It's different from Jane's writing style; I think that Radcliffe puts more detailed descriptions into her writings. I didn't get that far into the book myself, but I believe that it is a sort of a horror story, but not exactly. I guess I've thought of it as a serious Northanger Abbey, but like I said, I never got the pleasure of finishing it.
