The Veiled Picture; or, The Mysteries of Gorgono (Gothic Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Valancourt Books, 2006

Perfect Introduction to Radcliffe and the Gothic
This beautiful edition is the ideal introduction to the work of Ann Radcliffe specifically and the Gothic tradition generally. The 1802 text faithfully relates the plot and characterization of 1794's The Mysteries of Udolpho in a far more reader friendly length. Jack ...

Romance of the Forest (Nonsuch Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Nonsuch Publishing, 2005

Short and Sweet
The Mysteries of Udolpho is the best of the Radcliffe books, but I give this one 5 stars because it is still a very good read!

The Mysteries of Udolpho (Penguin Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Penguin Classics, 2001

The Mysteries of Udolpho: real and imagined
On one level, this novel defies categorisation. Yes, the Gothic web of mystery and intrigue is obvious. And so too are the beautiful descriptions of nature, the struggle between good and evil, the noble acts of heroism and the ignoble acts of greed. Anne Radcliffe ...

The Mysteries of Udolpho (Dover Giant Thrift Editions)

Ann Radcliffe

Dover Publications, 2004

Different from standard Gothic fare
First of all, this book is not easy to read in the usual course of novels. It requires concentration and a good knowledge of the English language. Secondly, it's a very intriguing and impelling story. Usually I'm able to finish books in one day, but due to the ...

The Italian (Penguin Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Penguin Classics, 2001

Another beauty by my favourite author......
I have a particular love for Mysteries of Udolpho, but The Italian is another wonderful book. I read it in one day, and couldn't put it down. The only sad part about it, is there is so few books of hers to read! A must read for gothic literature!

A Sicilian Romance (Oxford World's Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

Mrs. Radcliffe and Monk Lewis
I've read all of Mrs. Radcliffe's novels, except for her last one. I must admit that this novel is not as good as The Mysteries of Udolpho. But I think when reading this novel it's important to keep in mind why Ann Radcliffe wrote it in the first place. It's ...

Girlebooks, 2008

Set in 1584 in southern France and northern Italy, The Mysteries of Udolpho tells the story of Emily St. Aubert, a young French woman who is orphaned after the death of her father.

Gothic Classics: Graphic Classics Volume 14 (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))

Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, ...

Eureka Productions, 2007

Lady vampires and bodies buried dark and deep
I am a big fan of the Graphic Classics series, and I am an even bigger fan of the anthologies, such as "Horror Classics" and "Adventure Classics". The anthologies give us a chance to read some great tales by authors who may not be prolific enough to rate their own ...

The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne (Oxford World's Classics)

Ann Radcliffe

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995

Early Romance
This book is one of the earliest examples of the romantic novel. The plot was original for its time, though certainly nothing new today. It is completely predictable. Nevertheless, it is interesting as a study of English literature and the development of the novel. ...
