Synopsis
This set gathers Radcliffe's novels of the 1790s and after: The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne, A Sicilian Romance, The Romance of the Forest, The Mysteries of Udolpho, The Italian, and Gaston de Blondeville. Heroines move through Apennine castles, abbeys, and forests where a tyrannical guardian, a hidden crime, or a doubtful inheritance threatens them. Plots depend on locked rooms, midnight music, and explanations that finally assign the supernatural to human agents. The books are Gothic romances of sensibility: long narratives in which landscape, confinement, and delayed revelation structure a young woman's passage toward a lawful marriage.
