The Romance of the Forest (1791) is a novel by Ann Radcliffe. Her
third novel was immensely popular upon publication, going though
several editions in the span of three years. Considered an
essential work of Gothic fiction, The Romance of the Forest made
her name as a leading novelist of suspense and the supernatural. As
night descends on the city of Paris, Pierre and Constance de la
Motte leave their home for what may be the last time. Unable to pay
their creditors, they've decided to flee by carriage with their
servants Peter and Annette, who help them as they frantically pack
whatever they can before morning arrives. Although their escape
proves successful, they decide to stop in order to find a place to
rest until dawn. Following a faint light, Pierre makes his way
through the darkness to an ancient home, where a stranger grants
him entry. Soon, however, his hope dissipates as he is locked in a
room with a beautiful woman and told that he must take her with him
on his journey. Fearing for his life, he agrees to the stranger's
demands, and makes his way back to the carriage with Adeline in
tow. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of Ann Radcliffe's The Romance of the
Forest is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern
readers.
