 | | Ann Radcliffe’s final novel was written in 1802 but never published in her lifetime. | | | Although Radcliffe will always be remembered as one of the most gifted, exciting and popular novelists of the late eighteenth century, she was also a poet. | | | Ann Radcliffe’s novels were republished in two major early nineteenth-century collections, The British Novelists (1810) edited by Anna Laetitia Barbauld and The Ballantyne Novelist Library (1821) edited by Sir Walter Scott. |

| | Ann Radcliffe |
| | Prior to her marriage, Ann Radcliffe had a love for reading and poetry, which was a common characteristic of young ladies in good society. | | | Filled with romance, dangers and rescue, Ann's first novel was an indication of her works to come. | | | Her new book titled The Mysteries of Udolpho was the tale of a robber baron's castle on the Rhine and the dark deeds that haunt it, of a heroine enmeshed in toile that she cannot understand, of terrors hinted at, of real and imaginary danger. |

| | Session 9 - Conference Abstracts |
| | Ann Radcliffe's five Gothic novels, published in the 1790's, were translated into several languages and became bestsellers throughout Europe. | | | The Italian is Radcliffe's darkest creation, and the one that most clearly polarizes an evil Catholic aristocracy and a virtuous secular, rational, well educated middle class. | | | Later Gothic novels blur the line between good and evil within characters, but Radcliffe's characters literally change their world from evil to good through the strength of their rational vision. |

| | Radcliffe's scenery is often obscure or perceived through a dim light: "To the warm imagination, the forms which float half-veiled in darkness afford a higher delight than the most distinct scenery the sun can show" (The Mysteries of Udolpho). | | | Gaston de Blondville is of interest because it is her only novel that does not explain away the supernatural happenings and because it contains, apparently as a preface, her thoughts on the sublime and Gothic fiction, "On the Supernatural in Poetry". | | | And she inaugurated a new type of Gothic novel–the supernatural explained; the mysterious, supernatural or horrific events which terrify readers are eventually shown to have natural explanations. |

| | Examines Radcliffe's use of the sublime, the beautiful, and the picturesque "for the purpose of developing a religious aesthetic that will guide the reading of her works." Topics include the sublimity of ruins, Radcliffe's villains, natural beauty, and various instances of the "false sublime" in her novels. | | | Looks at the novels of Ann Radcliffe "in the context of the Romantic canon and the uses of the Miltonic past." Attempts to determine the ways in which Radcliffe's novels "define the Gothic as a literary genre inheriting the same intellectual lineage as male texts. | | | Radcliffe "experiments with contemporary ideals of femininity with a growing confidence and with the growing conviction that the contemporary ideal of propriety was inherently flawed." Through her heroines Radcliffe "envisions an new ideal of femininity." |

| | Of the host of writers who imitated and/or revised Radcliffe's work, perhaps the most significant are Isaac Crookenden, Catherine Cuthbertson, Mrs Isaacs, Mary Meeke, Mary Ann Radcliffe (her Manfronè; or, The one-handed monk. | | | Others have suggested that the true cause lies in her ill-health (she suffered from asthma), the melancholy caused by the death of her parents, or the popular association of the Gothic with the French revolution. | | | Although we may never be able satisfactorily to explain why, after 1796 Radcliffe left Gothic fictions to her imitators, competitors and opponents. |

| | The Literary Gothic Ann Radcliffe |
| | While not in and of themselves "gothic," Radcliffe's poems originally appeared in her (explained supernatural) Gothic novels. | | | This book devotes two chapters to Radcliffe: one to her early, one to her later Gothics. | | | Hers is one of the most famous early names of the Gothic tradition; The Mysteries of Udolpho is an essential Gothic text, though many readers prefer The Italian and the oft-overlooked The Romance of the Forest. |

| | Key in achieving this were Radcliffe’s rich landscape descriptions, which, at the time, were both praised for being gorgeous and poetic, and maligned for being verbose and redundant. | | | At the peak of her fame, Radcliffe’s influence reached beyond England; her books were translated into Italian, German, French, Russian and Spanish. | | | According to Deborah Rogers, professor of English at the University of Maine and an internationally known scholar of the author, Radcliffe is like many important women writers who were wildly famous in their own day, but have since almost disappeared. |
