Description

The Mysteries of Udolpho is a quintessential Gothic romance, replete with incidents of physical and psychological terror; remote, crumbling castles; seemingly supernatural events; a brooding, scheming villain; and a persecuted heroine.

Radcliffe also added extensive descriptions of exotic landscapes in the Pyrenees and Apennines.

Set in 1584 in southern France and northern Italy, the novel focuses on the plight of Emily St.

Aubert, a young French woman who is orphaned after the death of her father.

Emily suffers imprisonment in the castle Udolpho at the hands of Signor Montoni, an Italian brigand who has married her aunt and guardian Madame Cheron.

Emily's romance with the dashing Valancourt is frustrated by Montoni and others.

Emily also investigates the mysterious relationship between her father and the Marchioness de Villeroi, and its connection to the castle at Udolpho.
