In this new edition Nick Groom examines the reasons for its extraordinary impact and the Gothic culture from which it sprang. Chilling coincidences, ghostly visitations, arcane revelations, and violent combat combine in a heady mix that terrified the novel's first readers. The virgin Isabella flees through a castle riddled with secret passages. After the grotesque death of his only son, Conrad, on his wedding day, Manfred determines to marry the bride-to-be. Professing to be a translation of a mysterious Italian tale from the darkest Middle Ages, the novel tells of Manfred, prince of Otranto, whose fear of an ancient prophecy sets him on a course of destruction. It inaugurated a literary genre that will be forever associated with the effects that Walpole pioneered. The Castle of Otranto (1764) is the first supernatural English novel and one of the most influential works of Gothic fiction. 'Look, my lord!

While “always correct, but never benevolent” Alistair is at first reluctant to assist, he soon finds himself drawn in by Robert’s charms. There, he enlists the help of Alistair de Lacey, Marquess of Pembroke and one of the most powerful men in the region.
