The Tuileries is an 1831 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore.[1] 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 itshe 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".[2] It was one of two novels that Mary Shelley sent for in May 1831 along with Benjamin Disraeli's The Young Duke.[3]
