The Italian; or, The Confessional of the Black Penitents
By Ann RadcliffeIn The Italian (1797), Ann Radcliffe pits a scheming noblewoman and a ruthless monk against young lovers trying to bridge seemingly insurmountable class differences. The scenes of sublime nature, mysterious groans, corrupt ecclesiastics, isolated fortifications, and Inquisitorial torture reveal eighteenth-century Gothic fiction at its finest. The Italian stands as the final and darkest work of England's most successful Gothic novelist, and it presents Radcliffe at the peak of her literary skills.
