About the Author

English author Ann Radcliffe (1764 – 1823) was a pioneer of the Gothic novel with a Romantic style. The Gothic element is obvious in her use of the supernatural. Her technique, "the explained supernatural" as the final revelation of inexplicable phenomena, helped the Gothic novel achieve status in the 1790s.
