Présentation de l'éditeur
A best-seller in its day and a potent influence on Sade, Poe, and other purveyors of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic horror, The Mysteries of Udolpho remains one of the most important works in the history of European fiction. After Emily St. Aubuert is imprisoned by her evil guardian, Count Montoni, in his gloomy medieval fortress in the Appenines, terror becomes the order of the day. With its dream-like plot and hallucinatory rendering of its characters' psychological states, The Mysteries of Udolpho is a fascinating challenge to contemporary readers.
Biographie de l'auteur
English author Ann Radcliffe (1764 – 1823) was a pioneer of the Gothic novel with a Romantic style. The Gothic element is obvious in her use of the supernatural. Her technique, "the explained supernatural" as the final revelation of inexplicable phenomena, helped the Gothic novel achieve status in the 1790s.
