Ann Radcliffe
A Sicilian Romance
( May 11, 2019)
In A Sicilian Romance (1790) Ann Radcliffe began to forge the specific mixture of the psychology of terror and poetic description that might make her the super exemplar of the Gothic novel, and the idol of the Romantics. This early novel explores the cavernous landscapes and labyrinthine passages of Sicily's castles and convents to show the shameful secrets of its all-powerful aristocracy.
