About the author
The first lady of Gothic fiction, Ann Radcliffe (1764–1823) had
among her devotees Jane Austen, Mary and Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and
Matthew Lewis to name but a few. Her darkly mysterious romances explore
far-off locations, where the supernatural lurks behind every pine tree,
where she takes her characters and readers on a journey through tangled
forests and ruined castles, deep into the very heart of desire. The Mysteries of Udolpho
is perhaps her best known work, a work of such influential nature in
shaping the early Gothic genre that it is even parodied in Jane Austen’s
Northanger Abbey.
