This article examines the criticizing techniques as a method to develop the reader’s response from one side and to shed light on the writer’s intention in order to solve some of the social and political problems. Parody is one of these techniques that was widely used by many writers in modern and postmodern literature. The study identifies a fairly wide literary tradition of Anna Radcliffe in the artistic heritage of the 19th-20th century, extending even beyond the boundaries of English literature. The gothic novels of Anna Radcliffe and the gothic genre with a comparison to Peacock’s artistic works in general had a significant and undeniable influence on all subsequent English and world literature. Thus, from the comparison of Radcliffe's novels with T. L. Peacock's parody, it is clear that by the 19th century the Gothic genre had become obsolete and became a kind of complex system of periodically ridiculed clichés.
