Once upon a time Fernando Roncorone was a happy youth with a loving
family, friends, and the affection of his beloved Rosolie. Now he
lives alone, a hermit, and a terror to the local villagers, who
know him only as the Mad Man of the Mountain. Mad Man of the
Mountain recounts Roncorone s descent into madness as he loses
everything he cherishes through the dastardly schemes of the
villainous Salvini. And once Salvini s unthinkable cruelty has
taken from Roncorone everything that is dear to him, the Mad Man
will set out after Salvini, intent on wreaking a savage vengeance
Replete with murder, gloom, and horror, Summersett s novel tapped
into the late-eighteenth century craze for Gothic novels and
remains compulsively readable today. This edition reprints the
unabridged text of the rare two volume first edition published in
1799 by the Minerva Press, the great purveyor of sensational Gothic
fiction, and includes the complete text of contemporary reviews.
