Although the reader is informed of Catherine’s reading of Radcliffe’s Udolpho‚ Austen alludes more liberally to the gothic conventions presented in Radcliffe’s The Romance of the Forest when Henry refers to Radcliffe’s passage: ‘We shall not have to explore our way into a hall dimly lighted by the expiring embers of a wood fire – nor be obliged to spread our beds on the floor of a room without windows‚ doors or furniture’ (p.114).
