Notes:
“Taylor's deliciously Gothic romance is a work to take along when stranded on a desert island. A mock Victorian melodrama that makes for some uneasy laughter, it is about sexual repression and false innocence. Taylor is often at his funniest, when he is at his most serious.” – Anna Kisselgoff, New York Times
