Essential novelists – Ann Radcliffe –

Welcome to the Essential Novelists book series, were we present to you the best works of remarkable authors. For this book, the literary critic August Nemo has chosen the two most important and meaningful novels of Ann Radcliffe which are The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne and A Sicilian Romance. Ann Radcliffe was one the most representative of English Gothic novelists. She stands apart in her ability to infuse scenes of terror and suspense with an aura of romantic sensibility. There is little physical horror in Radcliffe’s “tales of terror” and elements that seem to be supernatural are usually found to have some rather disappointing natural explanation. Novels selected for this book: – The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne. – A Sicilian Romance. This is one of many books in the series Essential Novelists.
