Beschreibung
The Italian, or the Confessional of the Black Penitents (1797) is a Gothic novel written by the English author Ann Radcliffe. It is the last book Radcliffe published during her lifetime (she would go on to write the novel Gaston de Blondeville, which was published posthumously in 1826). The Italian has a dark, mysterious and somber tone, and concerns the themes of love, devotion and persecution by the Holy Inquisition. The novel also deals with issues prevalent at the time of the French Revolution, such as religion, aristocracy, and nationality. Radcliffe's renowned use of veiled imagery is considered to have reached its height of sophistication and complexity in The Italian; concealment and disguise are central motifs of the novel. In line with late 18th-century sensibility and its parallel fetishisation of the sublime and the sentimentally pastoral, the heightened emotional states of Radcliffe's characters are often reflected through the pathetic fallacy. The novel is noted for its extremely effective antagonist, Father Schedoni. (wikipedia.org)

Ann Radcliffe was described by the critic ¿Nathan Drake as 'the Shakespeare of romance writers' and set a revolutionary path for Gothic fiction and Romantic poetry in the eighteenth century. She is renowned for uniquely twisting terror with romance in her novels that take place around Europe. Ann had never visited Europe until she began traveling with her husband, William Radcliffe, in 1794, towards the end of her career as a writer. During her career, she explored the genres of thriller, romance, travel writing and poetry. Ann published her most successful novel The Mysteries of Udolpho in 1794. Ann lived humbly until 1823.
