Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Novelists, Vol. 43: With an Essay, and Prefaces, Biographical and Critical Though every production which is good in its kind entitles its author to praise, a greater distinction is due to those which stand at the head of a class; and such are undoubtedly the novels of Mrs. Radcliffe, - which exhibit a genius of no common stamp. She seems to scorn to move those passions which form the interest of common novels I she alarms the soul with terror; agitates it with suspense, prolonged and wrought up to the most intense feeling, by mysterious hints and obscure intimations of unseen danger. The scenery of her tales is in "time-shook towers," vast uninhabited castles, winding staircases, long echoing aisles; or, if abroad, lonely heaths, gloomy forests, and abrupt precipices, the haunt of banditti; - the canvass and the figures of Salvator Rosa. Her living characters correspond to the scenery: - their wicked projects are dark, singular, atrocious. They are not pf English growth ; their guilt is tinged with a darker hue than that of the bad and profligate characters we see in the World about us; they seem almost to belong to an unearthly sphere o( powerful mischief.
