  • "Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823) is credited with shaping and popularizing the gothic novel. A prolific author, Radcliffe's second novel was greeted with wide praise. "A Sicilian Romance" (1790) takes place on the shore of north Sicily, where the aristocratic house of Mazzini is in turmoil. Julia and Emilia Mazzini reside in a labyrinthine castle bustling with supernatural activity. The quest to discover the source of these troubling haunts reveals a dark past. Weaving terror and romance, Radcliffe creates a vivid tale of family secrets and exotic intrigue. A master of the genre, Radcliffe would go on to pen many novels that would secure her influence in the Gothic and Romantic movements. Her work defines the literary trends of her era and remains enthralling to readers around the globe."
  • "What horrible history lies below the castles in the caverns of Sicily? Located on Sicily's northern shore, the castle of Mazzini was home to the beautiful and clever sisters Emilia and Julia. They have lived there for years with their governess after their father, the marquis, moved to Naples with his second wife. When he unexpectedly returns with their brother Ferdinand, mysterious events begin to occur around the castle. Rooms abandoned for years suddenly have strange tenants. Visiting the castle is a valiant and handsome friend of Ferdinand named Hippolitus, who immediately catches the eyes."@en
  • "In A Sicilian Romance (1790) Radcliffe began to forge the unique mixture of the psychology of terror and poetic description that would make her the great exemplar of the Gothic novel, and the idol of the Romantics. This early novel explores the cavernous landscapes and labyrinthine passages of Sicily's castles and convents to reveal the shameful secrets of its all-powerful aristocracy. Julia and Emilia Mazzini live secluded in an ancient mansion near the straits of Messina. After their father's return to the island a neglected part of the house is haunted by a series of mysterious sights and sounds. The origin of these hauntings is only discovered after a series of breathless pursuits through dreamlike pastoral landscapes. When revelation finally comes, it forces the heroines to challenge the united forces of religious and patriarchal authority."
