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.
