    Adeline, the protagonist of Ann Radcliffe's The Romance of the Forest, became a model for later Gothic heroines. Passionate, imaginative, and sensitive, in the course of the novel she travels rapidly through the forests and Gothic ruins of France, pursued by the villain de Montfort and perpetually threatened by what appear to be supernatural events. The publication of The Romance of the Forest in 1791 had a significant impact on Radcliffe's career and on the rise of what would be known as the Gothic novel. The novel was widely praised upon publication and became a measure of quality against which all her future novels were gauged. Along with critical praise, The Romance of the Forest found an enthusiastic general audience and opened the new genre of Gothic Romance to a wider range of readers.

    Sulle sponde della Garonna, nella provincia di Guienna, esisteva nell'anno 1584 il castello di Sant'Aubert: dalle sue finestre scoprivansi i ricchi e fertili paesi della Guienna, che si estendevano lungo il fiume, coronati da boschi, vigne ed oliveti. A mezzodì, la prospettiva era circoscritta dalla massa imponente dei Pirenei, le cui cime, or celate nelle nubi, ora lasciando scorgere bizzarre forme, si mostravano talvolta, nude e selvagge, in mezzo ai vapori turchinicci dell'orizzonte, e talora scoprivano le loro pendici, lungo le quali dondolavano grandi abeti neri, agitati dai venti. Spaventosi precipizi contrastavano colla ridente verzura de' prati e delle selve circostanti, e lo sgua...

    Montoni fece invano le più esatte ricerche sulla strana circostanza che lo aveva allarmato, e non avendo potuto scoprir nulla, dovette credere che qualcuno de' suoi fosse l'autore d'una burla così intempestiva. Le sue contese colla moglie, a proposito della cessione, divenendo più frequenti, pensò confinarla nella sua camera, minacciandola a una maggior severità se persisteva nel rifiuto. Se la signora Montoni fosse stata più ragionevole, avrebbe compreso il pericolo d'irritare, con quella lunga resistenza, un uomo come il marito in cui balia ella trovavasi. Non aveva pure obliato di quale importanza fosse per lei la conservazione del possesso de' suoi beni, che l'avrebbero resa indipend...

    L'avarizia della zia d'Emilia cedè finalmente alla sua vanità. Qualche splendido pranzo dato dalla Clairval, e l'adulazione generale ond'essa era l'oggetto, aumentarono la premura della Cheron per assicurare una parentela che l'avrebbe tanto illustrata a' propri occhi ed a quelli del mondo. Propose il prossimo matrimonio di Emilia, ed offrì di assicurarne la dote, purchè la Clairval facesse altrettanto pel nipote. Questa ponderò la proposta, e considerando ch'Emilia era la più prossima erede della Cheron, l'accettò senza difficoltà. Emilia ignorava queste disposizioni, quando la zia l'avvertì di prepararsi alle nozze che dovevano aver luogo senza indugio. La fanciulla, sorpresa, non capiv...

    Bianca, che intanto trovavasi sola, non vedea l'ora di riveder la nuova amica, per dividere seco lei il piacere dello spettacolo della natura. Non aveva più nessuno cui esprimere l'ammirazione e comunicare le sue idee. Il conte, accortosi del di lei dispiacere, fece ricordare ad Emilia la visita promessa, ma il silenzio prolungato di Valancourt inquietava tanto la fanciulla, che fuggiva la società, ed avrebbe voluto differire il momento di riunirvisi fin quando non fosse calmata la sua ansietà. I Villefort la sollecitarono però così vivamente, che non potendo spiegare il motivo che l'attaccava alla solitudine, temè il suo rifiuto non avesse l'aria del capriccio, ed offendesse quegli amici...

    A Sicilian Romance begins when a tourist meets a local monk at the crumbling ruins of the castle Mazzini. The monk invites her to the monastery to view a manuscript that records the mysterious happenings that occurred hundreds of years ago in the once-great castle. The manuscript tells of the plight of two sisters, Julia and Emilia Mazzini, who, after the return of their tyrannical father, witness supernatural phenomena around the castle¿s neglected southern wing.Radcliffe was viewed as the greatest writer of the Gothic literary style by most early 19th century critics and literary historians despite Horace Walpole seemingly ¿inventing¿ the genre in The Castle of Otranto. A Sicilian Romance was first published anonymously in 1790, making it the second of her published works.

    " Sur les bords de la Garonne existait en 1584, dans la province de Guyenne, le château de M. Saint-Aubert. De ses fenêtres on découvrait les riches paysages de la Guyenne, qui s'étendaient le long du fleuve, couronnés de bois, de vignes et d'oliviers. Au midi, la perspective était bornée par la masse imposante des Pyrénées, dont les sommets, tantôt cachés dans les nuages, tantôt laissant apercevoir leurs formes bizarres, se montraient quelquefois nus et sauvages au milieu des vapeurs bleuâtres de l'horizon, et quelquefois découvraient leurs pentes, le long desquelles de noirs sapins se balançaient, agités par les vents. D'affreux précipices contrastaient avec la douce verdure des pâturages et des bois qui les avoisinaient; des troupeaux, de simples chaumières reposaient les regards fatigués de l'aspect des abîmes. Au nord et à l'orient s'étendaient à perte de vue les plaines du Languedoc, et l'horizon se confondait au couchant avec les eaux du golfe de Gascogne. M. Saint-Aubert aimait à errer, accompagné de sa femme et de sa fille, sur les bords de la Garonne; il se plaisait à écouter le murmure harmonieux de ses eaux. Il avait connu une autre vie que cette vie simple et champêtre; il avait longtemps vécu dans le tourbillon du grand monde, et le tableau flatteur de l'espèce humaine, que son jeune c¿ur s'était tracé, avait subi les tristesaltérations de l'expérience. Néanmoins la perte de ses illusions n'avait ni ébranlé ses principes ni refroidi sa bienveillance: il avait quitté la multitude avec plus de pitié que de colère, et s'était borné pour toujours aux douces jouissances de la nature, aux plaisirs innocents de l'étude, à l'exercice enfin des vertus domestiques.
