Description
Emily St. Aubuert finds herself trapped in a state of perpetual fear after her evil guardian imprisons her in his medieval fortress. Within the walls of Udolpho, terror reigns as she struggles against her guardian's schemes and the threat of psychological disintegration. The Mysteries of Udolpho is a foundational work in European fiction, its dream-like plot and hallucinatory rendering of characters' psychological states making it feel strangely modern. This affordable volume from Oxford World's Classics features an accurate text, expert introduction, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliography for further study.
