"In The Castle of Ollada, young Altador seeks to solve the mystery of the ancient Castle of Ollada and win the love of the beautiful Matilda. Why does his uncle, the Baron Garcia, refuse to inhabit the castle? And what is the bloodstained spectre that the servants have seen haunting its ruined halls? An immediate success when first published in 1795, The Castle of Ollada was the first novel by celebrated Gothic writer Francis Lathom, who wrote it at age twenty. This edition includes the unabridged text of the 1831 edition, as well as a new introduction revealing never before published information on the life and works of Francis Lathom. The complete text of two contemporary reviews is also included to illustrate the novel's reception when first published."--Publisher's website.

Presents an alphabetical reference guide detailing the lives and works of authors associated with Gothic literature.
Traditionally, kings and rulers were featured on stamps and money,the titled and affluent commissioned busts and portraits, and criminals and missing persons appeared on wanted posters. British writers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, however, reworked ideas about portraiture to promote the value and agendas of the ordinary middle classes. According to Kamilla Elliott, our current practices of "picture identification" (driver's licenses, passports, and so on) are rooted in these late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century debates. Portraiture and British Gothic Fiction examines ways writers such as Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, and C. R. Maturin as well as artists, historians, politicians, and periodical authors dealt with changes in how social identities were understood and valued in British culture—specifically, who was represented by portraits and how they were represented as they vied for social power. Elliott investigates multiple aspects of picture identification: its politics, epistemologies, semiotics, and aesthetics, and the desires and phobias that it produces. Her extensive research not only covers Gothic literature's best-known and most studied texts but also engages with more than 100 Gothic works in total, expanding knowledge of first-wave Gothic fiction as well as opening new windows into familiar work. -- Jerrold E.
