Romance of the Forest

Complete and unabridged, with 40 full-page plates by Pierre Patel, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot and Caspar David Friedrich. A girl handed over to a family fleeing its creditors shelters with them in a ruined abbey in the forest and finds a skeleton, a manuscript and a rusted dagger. Radcliffe's third novel, the one that made her famous and set the price of Gothic fiction for a decade. This edition binds forty plates with the text, among them Friedrich, Poussin and Diaz, alongside nine restored and coloured illustrations.
