Reseña del editor:

Ann Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest, first published in 1791, is the epitome of the Gothic novel: a beautiful, orphaned heiress, a dashing hero, a dissolute, aristocratic villain and a ruined abbey deep in a great forest are combined by the author in a tale of suspense where danger lurks behind every secret trap-door. Reprinted four times between 1791 and 1795 and satirised as represented of the Gothic genre by Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey, Radcliffe's tense masterpiece, in which the heroine is afraid even to look in the mirror for fear of what she might see behind her, established her reputation as a writer and her brilliant descriptions of both characters and scenes serve to create the perfect atmosphere for a novel packed with emotional intensity.

Biografía del autor:

Ann Radcliffe was born on 9 July 1764 in Holborn, London. A tremendously popular writer, she is regarded as one of the leading exponents of the Gothic historical romance. She published five novels between 1789 and 1797, and her work is thought to have profoundly influenced writers from Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott to Byron and Mary Wollstonecraft. She died on 7 February 1823.
