The Romance of the Forest

A girl handed over to a family fleeing its creditors shelters with them in a ruined abbey in the forest and finds a skeleton, a manuscript and a rusted dagger. Radcliffe's third novel, the one that made her famous and set the price of Gothic fiction for a decade. This edition binds forty plates with the text, among them Friedrich, Poussin and Díaz, alongside nine restored and coloured illustrations.
