nikkivrc's review against another edition

I can't help but be a little let down by this novel. 'Nightmare Abbey' is so brilliant that I had high expectations for this one, which were bound to be disappointed. There are far less philosophical ideas that are made fun of. 'Nightmare Abbey' is a lot richer in ideas and diversity, which makes it a lot more fun to read.

Delightful satire of intellectual life and the landed aristocracy in late 18 th century Wales . Probably had more impact for contemporary readers who would know the objects of the satire . A sort of early novel Sitcom . Language is divine and names of characters outrageous .
