## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An influence on HP Lovecraft
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 October 2012*

Written in 1797 this was the last novel published by Ann Radcliffe before she died. Believed to be written as a response to Matthew Gregory Lewis' "The Monk". More poetic than Lewis and in this reviewers opinion, a better writer, Radcliffe seems to chooses power as the cause rather than Lewis' thoughts which are about sexuality. "The Italian" is a blockbuster of a gothic novel and with an introduction by Kathryn White this book is implausibly cheap as well as fantastic.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Deliciously Overwrought
  

*by D***X on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2012*

Published in 1797 this was the final novel from one of the early initiators of Gothic Romance - and many would say the genre's queen. The story begins as a Romeo and Juliet type affair: Vivaldi has fallen for Ellena, an enigmatic orphan, but his family strongly oppose the match. The plot moves fast, with lots of gorgeous descriptions of travel in the Alps and across Italy, and it takes in along the way many of the deliciously overwrought staples of the genre: ghostly appearances, deathbed confessions, evil priests, sequestered monasteries and even the Inquisition. But the main attraction is surely the dark character of Father Schedoni, the confessor of Vivaldi's mother, who, once drawn in to oppose the match using any means possible, finds his own shady past and web of deceit begins to unravel.This is well worth a read, particularly if you are interested in the early history of the Gothic novel. Sadly the Kindle edition is riddled with typos, which - even for 77p - was a real shame.
