The Castle of Wolfenbach de Eliza Parsons

The Castle of Wolfenbach

Autor Eliza Parsons Editat de Diane Long Hoeveler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2006
Matilda Weimar flees her lecherous and incestuous uncle and seeks refuge in the ancient Castle of Wolfenbach. Among the castle's abandoned chambers, Matilda will discover the horrifying mystery of the missing Countess of Wolfenbach. But when her uncle tracks her down, can she escape his despicable intentions?
One of the seven "horrid novels" named in Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey, The Castle of Wolfenbach is perhaps the most important of the early Gothic novels, predating both The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Monk.
This edition reprints the complete text of the 1793 edition and includes a new introduction and notes by Diane Long Hoeveler, one of the foremost modern scholars of Gothic literature and feminism.

Notă biografică

Eliza Parsons (1739-1811) was an English novelist. Born in Plymouth, Devon, she was the only daughter of wine merchant John Phelp and his wife Roberta. She grew up in relative prosperity, receiving an education uncommon for women of her time. In 1760, Eliza married James Parsons, with whom she raised three sons and five daughters. During the American Revolutionary War, Parsons¿ turpentine business suffered terrible losses, forcing the family to live frugally. When a warehouse fire destroyed his property, and as illness and death tore through their tight-knit family, Eliza stepped in to provide for their children. Between 1790 and 1807, she wrote nineteen novels and a play, specializing in the Gothic style popular in England and Europe in the late nineteenth century. Although fame and financial stability eluded her, she proved a consistent and skilled storyteller, earning moderate praise for her novel The Castle of Wolfenbach (1793). Although she frequently apologized for her writing in the prefaces to her works¿which she used primarily to appeal to readers on behalf of her children¿Parsons was a gifted creator of compelling fiction and a pioneering figure in English literary history.
