I am all for people reading Otranto! I don't think I conveyed the delightful trolly-ness of it well when I read it, or everyone else would have done by now. (Or maybe they prefer sensible stuff, like Clara Reeve?)
(The Old English Baron is a painstaking Otranto 18th C Fanfic fixit by a lady with decided ideas about getting rid of all that OTT supernatural nonsense like GIANT suits of armour. I had this book that had both of them, which was a good experience, despite the fact that Baron is by no means as much fun.)
If you want to read Werther in paperback form, I can put it in the mail!
That is very sweet of you! I tell you what, I will double check the library next week and make sure that I don't actually have access to it (maybe there is something in the classics or NF lit section as I've never looked) as I'd feel really bad if you posted it all the way from the US and then it was here all along. If not, I might well take you up on it if you're still willing. <3
