First published in 1797, The Italian, with its archetypal villain
Schedoni, its intense romance and its sublime depiction of
landscape, is the masterpiece of Gothic fiction. Enlisted by the
Marchesa di Vivaldi, the perfidious monk Schedoni casts a
malevolent presence throughout the book as he tries to thwart the
passion of the two young lovers Vincenzo di Vivaldi and Elena di
Rosalba. Against the backdrop of the Catholic Inquisition and the
unforgettable scenery of the Bay of Naples and the Apennines, The
Italian celebrates the heroic struggle of love in the face of
malice and deceit.
