Leopold, Lord of St. Iver, sets his sights on the beautiful young Ethelwina, Countess of Auburne, and determines to possess her body and her estates. When she rebuffs his proposals of marriage, he imprisons her in his impenetrable castle in the mountains of Wales. Trapped in a dungeon in the ruined northern tower, Ethelwina will have to overcome Leopold's diabolical plots, including his intention to destroy her will by the use of potions, and his threat to rape her if she refuses to become his bride. But the dungeon holds still more terrors for Ethelwina. Inside her chamber are a bloodstained mattress and a rusty dagger, and when a vengeful spectre that seems to be the ghost of her father appears to her, she will have to solve the mystery of his fate and revenge his death! One of the finest Gothic novels of the 1790s, Ethelwina; or, The House of Fitz-Auburne (1799) has remained out of print for almost 210 years and can be found in only three libraries worldwide today. This new edition features the unabridged text of the three volume first edition along with a new introduction that reveals for the first time the details of T. J. Horsley Curties's life, a portrait of the author, and a reproduction of the frontispiece of the first edition.
Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
