Critical Reception

[edit]

Both The Abbess of Crewe and its film adaptation Nasty Habits are allegories of the Watergate scandal of the mid-early 1970s. A casual Google search for "The Abbess of Crewe" yielded George Stade's October 20, 1974 review of The Abbess of Crewe in the New York Times, which, after dissecting the book's deficiencies concludes by saying "Muriel Spark is the first writer to demonstrate that Watergate and its attendant immoralities are materials not of tragedy, but of farce". Under WP:BOLD. I'm adding a "Critical Reception" section to our article, in hopes others will find additional real-world commentary on the book and add it to the article. loupgarous (talk) 17:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
