translate English to German: His satires of British aristocratic snobbery — he calls one character the "Noble Refrigerator" — are wickedly funny. Some of his characters are grotesques; he loved the style of 18th century gothic romance though it had already become a bit of joke (see Jane Austen 's Northanger Abbey for a parodic example).
