Items related to Romance of the Forest (Nonsuch Classics)
Ann Radcliffe’s Romance of the Forest, first published in 1791, is the epitome of the Gothic novel: a beautiful, orphaned heiress, a dashing hero, a dissolute, aristocratic villain, and a ruined abbey deep in a great forest are combined by the author in a tale of suspense where danger lurks behind every secret trap-door. Reprinted four times between 1791 and 1795 and satirised as representative of the Gothic genre by Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey, Radcliffe’s tense masterpiece, in which the heroine is afraid even to look in the mirror for fear of what she might see behind her, established her reputation as a writer.

About the Author:
"Excellent notes and solid introduction. A good example of the gothic mode, of use in an introduction to fiction or survey of the novel class."--Leslie G. Bailey, St. Martin's College
Ann Radcliffe was born on July 9, 1764 in Holborn, London. A tremendously popular writer, she is regarded as one of the leading exponents of the Gothic historical romance. She published five novels between 1789 and 1797, and her work is thought to have profoundly influenced writers from Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott to Byron and Mary Wollstonecraft. She died on February 7, 1823.
