AHERN, Stephen "Between duty and desire: Sentimental Agency in British Prose Fiction of the Later Eighteenth Century." Dissertation Abstracts International 61:6 (1999): 246 (McGill University). Investigates the properties of sentimentality by "analyzing the move in British Literature from a fascination with heightened affect to a celebration of Gothic excess during the period 1768-1796. Examines the novels of Laurence Sterne, Henry Mackenzie, Ann Radcliffe, and Matthew Lewis. Argues that sentimentalism was "a contradictory cultural discourse rooted in an unstable complex of assumptions about the ontological status and political implications of social identity. Torn between disinterest and self-interest, between public duty and private desire, the sentimentalist is a conflicted figure whose aggressive aesthetic is increasingly shown to be at once comically bathetic and darkly menacing.

ALTOMARI, Lisa. "Monstrous Dialogue: Ann Radcliffe and Matthew G. Lewis." Dissertation Abstracts International 61:4 (2000): 1415 (New York University). "This study constructs an intertextual discourse, a symbolic conversation, between Radcliffe and Lewis as it manifests itself through three of their novels, The Mysteries of Udolpho, The Monk, and The Italian. ...The study brings to light their textual interplay subverting or sanctioning tradition gender roles for women through an analysis of their own and each other's heroines; it uncovers textual dialogue which points to both writers' differing views of monstrousness and motherhood via their treatment of mother figures; it demonstrates how Lewis set up against Radcliffe's Burkean view of natural landscapes his own version of sublimity, genteel pornography; and finally, it examines how cycles of repetition influence narrative order and disorder."

' " Dissertation Abstracts International 60:6 (1998): 2035 (University of Southern California). Develops and argument connecting Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" and Mrs. Radcliffe's Gothic romances. Both "portray debilitating itineraries for the child that Freudian and Lacanian critics thoroughly naturalize." Taking exception to such naturalization, argues "that writers of the British Enlightenment poets, philosophers, novelists create the horizon of expectations within which the progress of the child and his or her resultant psychic organization as heralded in Radcliffe's Gothic romance and Wordsworth's Immortality Ode appear as ineluctable fact."

BYAM, Paige Beresford. "Mysteries in Narrative: Female Figures, Fear, and the Disruption of Telos." Dissertation Abstracts International 54 (1994): 2565A (University of Wisconsin). Contains material on Emily St. Aubert in Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho. The fear she expresses "often points to other fears that inform narrative and prevent it from being a closed, linear whole." Such fears are "thematized in anxieties over gender, genre, and cultural boundaries."

Lisa Low, Anthony Harding. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge UP, 1994: 84-113. Looks at the novels of Ann Radcliffe "in the context of the Romantic canon and the uses of the Miltonic past." Attempts to determine the ways in which Radcliffe's novels "define the Gothic as a literary genre inheriting the same intellectual lineage as male texts. Her works entailed an erudition and transmutation of conventions." References to Milton's Comus.
CAIRNEY, [data "The Villain Character in the Puritan World: An Ideological Study of Richardson, Radcliffe, Byron, and Arnold." Dissertation Abstracts International 57:9 (1995): 3946A (University of Missouri). Includes Mrs. Radcliffe's Montoni (Udolpho) and Schedoni (The Italian) in a survey of villainy in the late eighteenth century novel. "The character was a product of his time, and was used to encourage morally and an ideologically "correct" behavior. Specifically, the villain as a strong but ambiguous character developed as a result of the failure of Tudor-Stuart society."
CANUEL, Mark E. "Romantic Emancipation: Religion and the Nation in British Letters, 1790-1830." Dissertation Abstracts International 57:5 (1996): 2046A (Johns Hopkins University). Includes Mrs. Radcliffe in its study of "late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century writers on the relationship between personal belief and the formation of a national community." Her works along with writings by Wordsworth and Byron "exemplify the ways in which writers of the period address a central paradox of liberal social institutions: namely, that they tolerate a diversity of beliefs and moral motivations within one system of social cooperation. Radcliffe's Gothics took the confessional state as the locus of their terror, which they resolved by criminalizing harmful actions rather than heretical beliefs."

________. Introduction to The Mysteries of Udolpho. New York: Oxford UP, 1998: vii-xxxiii. Castle's new introduction to the Bonamy Dobrée edition credits Mrs. Radcliffe with the rediscovery of the powers of the numinous. "But the 'mysteries' permeating Udolpho are not simply the mysteries of plot. In highlighting the mysterious--inevitably associated for her with the uncanny powers of the human mind--Radcliffe sought to do more than excite readerly curiosity. She wished to reawaken in her readers a sense of the numinous--of invisible forces at work in the world." The edition also uses some of Frederick Garber's annotations for the previous World Classics edition of Udolpho.

CORNETT, Judy Mae."The Construction of Female Subjectivity: Common Issues in Eighteenth-Century Law and the Novel." Dissertation Abstracts International 58:6 (1998): 2221A (University of Virginia). Along with other novels of the period, Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho "challenges the assumptions and presuppositions of eighteenth-century English law about female subjectivity. Udolpho is read in terms of Mark Tushnet's study of antebellum American slave law since "Emily's trials at Udolpho represent the legal position of women by demonstrating the utter inadequacy of sentiment to protect women if the protection of Law is withdrawn."

Dissertation Abstracts International 58:12 (1998): 4664A (New York University).This dissertation "argues that the reception-history of the Gothic, and particularly of the works of Ann Radcliffe and Matthew Gregory Lewis, is itself a Gothic tale, reproducing the conventions of the genre at the most basic levels of character and plot. Though offering a cautionary tale for feminist critics who seek to locate women's power in property, the subplot points up Radcliffe's ability to write her own reception and Lewis' position as the best critic to reveal the inescapable nature of her Gothic tales."

HERRERA, C. Andrea O'Reilly. "Nuns and Lovers: Tracing the Development of Idyllic Conventual Writing." Dissertation Abstracts International 54:7 (1994): 2588A (University of Delaware). One part of one chapter relates Radcliffe's Gothicism to "the idea of an exclusively female religious community [that] continued to haunt the imaginations of English writers. Mapping conventual space into their fiction enabled [Radcliffe] to imaginatively reclaim all of the lost possibilities that the medieval convent represented and to comment upon, and transcend, the restrictions of contemporary space."

A six-part Introduction and highly informative notes set this edition apart from others as the finest Udolpho available for both scholars and common readers. Discussed in the Introduction are “THE PUBLICATION OF THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO AND ITS EARLY RECEPTION,” “GOTHIC ROMANCE AS A NEW GENRE,” “RADCLIFFE’S USE OF HISTORY AND THE SUPERNATURAL,” “POETRY AND SENSIBILITY IN UDOLPHO,” and “RADCLIFFE’S INFLUENCE ON LATER WRITERS.” Recognizes that Radcliffe “far surpasses the technique of her predecessors in Gothic romance, Horace Walpole, Clara Reeve, and Sophia Lee.” Her forte lies in “the exploration of exquisite sensibility and extreme states of mind.”

IKEGAMI, Robin Umeko. "French Principles and English Women: The Novel of Feminist Exposure, Wollstonecraft to Austen." Dissertation Abstracts International 54:11 (1993): 4102A (University of Michigan). Has material on Mrs. Radcliffe's and Charlotte Smith's novels. "Drawing upon M. M. Bakhtin's formulations of the dialogic and the novel, feminist theories about authority and subjectivity, and cultural studies of the period, argues that the above authors created a new literary genre that marginalized concerns with the internal life of its characters in order to expose the ways in which various institutions of power attempted to control the thinking and behavior of women."

Revise traditional accounts of eighteenth-century England's "cult of sensibility." Chapter Three argues that Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho deconstructs the negative stereotypes of sensibility that it ostensibly endorses." Also includes Austen's Northanger Abbey in the analysis.

Examines Radcliffe's use of the sublime, the beautiful, and the picturesque "for the purpose of developing a religious aesthetic that will guide the reading of her works." Topics include the sublimity of ruins, Radcliffe's villains, natural beauty, and various instances of the "false sublime" in her novels. The final chapter "explores Radcliffe's use of Milton's A Mask and biblical eschatology in the final chapters of The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Italian."

MACKENZIE, Scott. "Ann Radcliffe's Gothic Narrative and the Readers at Home." Studies in the Novel 31:4 (1999): 409-431. Examines the Gothic novels of Ann Radcliffe, focusing on them as domestic narratives. Notes that the critical tradition identifies both the Gothic and domestic strands of later-18th-century novel discourse within a realm of English public life separated from the sphere of politics and enclosed upon a gendered bourgeois privacy. By referring to the work of Joseph Wright of Denby, a painter of the genre called Candlelights, the essay defines the type of domestic sphere that was constantly repeated in Radcliffe's novels, that of the home surrounding the scene of female reading and writing.

"The threatening behavior of a Montalt [in The Romance of the Forest], a Monton [in The Mysteries of Udolpho], or a Schedoni [in The Italian] echoes the paternal language of the late eighteenth century toward Radcliffe's generation." These men depict the preceptor as persecutor or the father as fiend.
MILBANK, Alison. Introduction to The Sicilian Romance. New York: Oxford UP, 1993: ix-xxix. The introduction discusses Mrs. Radcliffe's evolution of a Gothic style in her first two novels and relates A Sicilian Romance to "a tradition of writings byn women novelists about imprisonment. Most notably, it shows strong similarities to Sophia Lee's The Recess; or, A Tale of Other Times."
________. Introduction to The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne. New York: Oxford UP, 1995: vii-xxiv. The Introduction discusses Mrs. Radcliffe's first novel in light of the two Jacobite rebellions (1715 and 1745), Johnson's Preface to Shakespeare, and Scottish nationalism. The novel "situates itself in a particularly eighteenth-century mode of writing about the Highlands as a melancholy site, a fallen nation, yet one with privileged access to the past."
MILES, Robert. Ann Radcliffe: The Great Enchantress. Manchester & New York: Manchester UP; New York: St. Martin's Press, 1995. An astute and corrective rereading of Radcliffe's Gothic and her place in the tradition. Rebuts the view of David Durant and other critics who have insisted on Radcliffe's conservatism in a revolutionary literary movement and returns to the original assertions of Montague Summers that Radcliffe was and remains a great mistress of romance.

The Early Works: The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne and The Sicilian Romance. 6. In the Realm of the Figural: The Romance of the Forest. 7. The Hermeneutics of Reading: The Mysteries of Udolpho. 8. Radcliffe's Politics: The Italian. Accompanied by a section on "Further Reading," Bibliography, and Index.

________. "Ann Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis" In A Companion to the Gothic, Ed. David Punter. Oxford, UK & Malden, MA: Blackwell Publishers, 2000: 41-57. Compares and contrasts (mostly contrasts) the two Gothic figureheads of the 1790s. While Lewis shows an interest in "self-dramatising and self-fashioning" together with transgressive homosexuality, Radcliffe, like other proponents of the female Gothic, is "primarily interested in rights" for her class and gender. "What The Monk finally contests is the system of justice that relies upon notions of fixed identity, upon standards of truth capable of distinguishing the natural from the unnatural."
________. “Introduction” to The Italian; or, The Confessional of the Black Penitents. London: Penguin Books, 2000: vii-xxxiii. Has a nine-section Introduction that considers The Italian in various contexts under the topics “Literary Background: Gothic Romance, Ann Radcliffe’s Career,” “History and Travel Writing,” “The Inquisition,” “Rome Dec. 30, 1789,” “The System of Terror,” “Romance,” “The Explained Supernatural,” “Narrative Technique,” and “Reception.” In The Italian “Radcliffe endeavoured to correct . . . flaws in her art [by] locating the supernatural squarely in the psychology of her character. The explained supernatural is thus not a matter of artificial contrivance, but of psychological naturalism.”

NORTON, Rictor. Mistress of Udolpho: The Life of Ann Radcliffe. London: Leicester University Press, 1998. Mistress of Udolpho is the first full-scale biography of the famous Gothic novelist, Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823), author of The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794), the world's first "best-seller." Rictor Norton has unearthed new information about Radcliffe, has run to ground leads other scholars have missed, and has given us a contextual picture of Radcliffe's life that is unlikely to be superseded. The author clarifies Radcliffe's emergence from a Dissenting Unitarian, rather than a conventional Anglican, background. This discovery redraws the literary historical map to include Radcliffe within the circle of other women writers nurtured in radical Dissenting backgrounds (such as Wollstonecraft, Hays, Inchbald and Barbauld). Full of fascinating detective work, Norton's scholarly biography fully documents Radcliffe's childhood and family background, investigates the rumours of her madness and her extraordinary reclusiveness, and evaluates the reasons for her probable mental breakdown. But it also constitutes a "cultural history" of a writing woman, fully demonstrating her place within radical culture, within literary tradition and aesthetic discourse, and examining her crucial role in the rise of the professional woman writer. Her novels are analysed mainly in the context of her biography and in the context of her sources, and some new dates for her posthumous work are established. From Robert Miles, author of Ann Radcliffe, The Great Enchantress: Ann Radcliffe was, in her day, the obscurest woman of letters in England. Her contemporaries despaired of learning anything about her, while Christina Rossetti abandoned her planned biography for lack of materials. Through patient and resourceful scholarship Rictor Norton has thrown light on Radcliffe's life and background for the first time. Full of new material and amazing discoveries, Norton's book will transform our understanding of Radcliffe-an absolute must for anyone with an interest in the subject.
OESTENHELD, Helen Carmel. "Re-Writing the Woman of Feeling: Sarah Scott, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Wollstonecraft, and the Eighteenth-Century Novel of Sensibility." Dissertation Abstracts International 62:6 (2001): 2126 (University of California, Irvine). Examines how novelists of the mid- to late century codified the various expressions of sensibility through the creation of a stock heroic character now termed "the man of feeling." Women novelists "found this hero inadequate to their purposes. Though kind, the man of feeling perpetuates oppression through the free exercise of his sensibility." Ann Radcliffe and Mary Wollstonecraft wrote Gothic versions of the novel of sensibility "which called into question the man of feeling's essentially passive virtue." Radcliffe resorted to Gothic terrors and Wollstonecraft to revolutionary rhetoric to discredit the man of feeling and the helplessness he advocates thus paving the way for "an actively virtuous literary type, the woman of feeling."

Index mixes entry numbers with page numbers, a slight hazard and minor confusion.
________. The Critical Response to Ann Radcliffe. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1994. Presents a ten-part gathering of critical material (contemporary reviews and critical essays) on the six novels and the travelogue, A Journey Made in the Summer of 1794 through Holland and the Western Frontier of Germany with a Return Down the Rhine. Also has a Chronology, a Note on the Text, a useful introduction to the critical fortunes of Mrs. Radcliffe’s fiction and her current place in the Gothic pantheon, a bibliography of Selected Additional Readings and an Index. In her own day, “Radcliffe’s work came to epitomize the Gothic novel. . . . Criticism of Radcliffe from her own day to the present reveals that she was one of the most important novelists of her era. If her place in literary history has always been assured, her popularity gradually declined after her death until the reevaluations of the period after 1957 [the publication year of Devendra P. Varma’s Gothic Flame] brought her again into prominence.”

The sublime deals directly with the crisis such a structure of judgment creates by highlighting an ethical dilemma: while responsibility to both the future and the present may be unreconcilable, the choice of one over the other is also irresponsible."

"Like a conduct book, The Italian teaches young women how to behave; in the heroine it models proper behavior, in the villain improper and un-English behavior. Through a combination of plot devices and narrative techiniques the novel elicits from its heroine 'Englishness' in the form of self-surveillance."

Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK & New York: Palgrave, 2001: 212-236. Appears to be unaware of the large amount of critical attention given to the Gothic in the last two decades and takes the year 1794 to be the highpoint of the Gothic with “the publication of two epoch-making novels, superficially quite diverse, but with interesting literary parallels.” Ignores almost entirely the role of Walpole’s Castle of Otranto and Lewis’s Monk in the rise and transformation of the novel in the Eighteenth Century and resorts to antiquated critical cliches in the discussion of Radcliffe and Godwin. To be reminded in 2001 that ”Perhaps more than any other novelist, Radcliffe relies on the elements of mystery and suspense” or that “The massive reliance on suspense is the most obvious formal analogy between the two novels” is not constructive criticism.

"Competing nar-ratives in Radcliffe's fiction issue not only (as in Clarissa) from characters with interests opposed to those of the heroine, but from the heroine herself. Unable to order fully her own narrative, the Radcliffean maiden may act courageously in less claustrophoibic circumstances than Clarissa's, but finally she, too, reveals woman's socially enforced weakness."

The remainder of the article repeats a standard critical position taken many times before on the ambiguous message of Radcliffean Gothicism: her novels are "appealing to the vogue of sensibility while at the same time praising the commonsensical values of domesticity to which women were expected to conform in a male-dominated society."

TOOLEY, Brenda. "Gothic Utopia: Heretical Sanctuary in Ann Radcliffe's The Italian." Utopian Studies 11:2 (2000): 42-56. The writer examines the presentation of a convent as a utopian enclave in Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novel The Italian. "Radcliffe portrays the convent in question as one in which the maternal authority of an abbess indifferent to doctrinal rigor has created a utopian space for a family of sisters. This utopian space is presented as one that allows for silent deviance from what Radcliffe constructs as a norm of Catholic intolerance. It can be argued, however, that the convent's utopian space is not just an enclave of unregulated freedom of conscience. Safe as it is from the machinery of persecution, that utopian space is dependent on the larger structure that enables it to exist." The line of argument here is tenuous at best. There are no utopias for Mrs. Radcliffe's heroines until the final chapter.

Examines the role of the heroine in six works, three by men and three by women. The females texts areBurney's Evelina, Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho, Austen's Persuasion. Male texts are Scott's Heart of Midlothian, Dickens's Bleak House and Hardy's Tess of the Durbervilles. Considers Radcliffe's Udolpho to be a model of a novel by woman where "the heroine is trapped between two conflicting landscapes.This mix of landscape description results in a resistance to closure in the heroine's position."

Examines the conventions commonly used by female Gothic novelists, with a specific focus on the image of the veil. Both literally and metaphorically, veils express the criticism made by the female authors of the oppression they experience at the hands of the patriarchy. In Ann Radcliffe, veils "convey her criticism of the patriarchy covertly, to avoid becoming monstrous." Offers "unveilings" of The Romance of the Forest,The Mysteries of Udolpho, and The Italian.
