From novelist Ann Radcliffe (9 July 1764 - 7 February 1823). A hugely popular Gothic novelist of the 1790s (and beyond), Radcliffe crafted a brand of explained supernaturalism (which owed not a little to the early novels of Charlotte Smith) that struck a chord with British readers during the anxious 1790s. Her blend of moralism, aesthetics, and drama became definitive for the more genteel strain of Gothic fiction during the Romantic period. Hers is one of the most famous early names of the Gothic tradition. The Mysteries of Udolpho is an essential Gothic text, though many readers prefer The Italian and the oft-overlooked The Romance of the Forest.

Barbara Michaels radcliffes some, but not all, of her supernatural thrillers.
I enjoyed the book until the author radcliffed the evil ghost in the end.
