The Tuileries (novel)

The Tuileries is an 1831 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore. A bestselling writer of silver fork novels, Gore turned in this to the recent history of Paris following the French Revolution and particularly the Tuileries Palace. Gore herself had a low opinion of the work and when her publisher Richard Bentley asked her to write a review of it she declined, observing it was "a very dull work" and that she "could find little to say its favour" concluding that "the public must be more dense than I dare hope, if they can be persuaded that it is really a work of interest". It was one of two novels that Mary Shelley sent for in May 1831 along with Benjamin Disraeli's The Young Duke.
