Items related to The Italian
Vincentio di Vivaldi and Elena di Rosalba are in love -- and his noble mother, the cruel Marchesa, doesn't like it at all. She's set Schedoni -- a monk, and an evil one -- to put a stop to their affair. It is a beautiful and compelling tale, the story of young lovers committed to their love no matter what horrors and hardship threaten, lovers who care nothing for the difference in their social stations, only for one another. _The Italian_ is a story of love and treachery -- a story that touches on the horrific Inquisition.

About the Author:
Ann Radcliffe was born Ann Ward. She married William Radcliffe. They had no children, and with her husband's encouragement, she wrote fiction to amuse herself. Her ""Gothic"" novels, which were extremely popular, tend to involve innocent but heroic young women who find themselves in gloomy, mysterious castles at the mercy of complicated men. They influenced Sir Walter Scott and were parodied by Jane Austen. Radcliffe died in 1823 pneumonia.
Review:
An ingenious performance. --Samuel Taylor Coleridge
