Description: The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe London: Printed for G.G. and J. Robinson, 1794. First edition. Complete in four volumes. Rebound in 19th century half-morocco and marbled boards, gilt stamped spines, all edges tinted yellow, lacking half-titles. Very Good overall, scattered light foxing concentrated at ends, occasional reading stains and closed marginal tears not affecting text; joints cracked but holding on each volume with repairs to vol. I, extremities rubbed, corners bumped, spines chipping with losses to caps on vols. I, II, and IV. One of the greatest of all Gothic novels, Ann Radcliffe's third book was immensely popular with young women of the period, and famously satirized by Jane Austen in Northanger Abbey. The power of its legacy is easily recognizable in the later works of Edgar Allan Poe, John Keats, Henry James, Herman Melville, and others. Bleiler, 1370; Block, p. 193; Rothschild 1701; Summers, p. 135, 443.
