Dublin: Printed by William Porter, 1795.. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (20.5 x 12.5 cm). pp.vi+499. Contemporary full speckled calf, spine ruled in gilt and with red morocco label. Binding scuffed (most notably to upper cover) and lightly rubbed along joints, light toning and occasional light spotting. Published simultaneously with the London edition. Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823) published five novels in her lifetime, though she always called them 'romances'. They were The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne (1789); A Sicilian Romance (1790); The Romance of the Forest (1791); The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794); and The Italian (1797). Her travel book, A Journey Made in the Summer of 179I4, appeared in 1795 and is a narrative of her European sojourn in 1794 with her journalist husband William. It began as a picturesque tour through Holland, but as they progressed on to Germany, they found themselves in the midst of the first Franco-Prussian war which began in 1792 and was still raging. A final novel, Gaston de Blondeville, was published posthumously in 1826. Her first romance was barely noticed; the second caused a stir; the third made her famous. At the time of her death in 1823, she was hailed as the 'great enchantress' and the 'Shakespeare of Romance writers' (Miles, 7, 10), and was generally esteemed as one of the pre-eminent novelists of her generation (ODNB)., Dublin: Printed by William Porter, 1795., 0<
