The Mysteries of Udolpho - Volume II

Ann Radcliffe · 1794 · Horror & Gothic, Romance

Carried across the Alps into the splendour of Venice and the shadow of Castle Udolpho, Emily St. Aubert confronts coerced courtship, disputed property, armed authority, and mysteries that test the boundary between evidence and fear. Volume II deepens Ann Radcliffe's Gothic masterpiece while preserving Emily's moral resistance at the centre of the story.
