Read for a graduate seminar on Romantic Era Women Writers at CU Boulder. I'd give this novel 3.5 stars, if such an option existed. As is, I'm rounding up! I love how intricate the plot of this Gothic romance is - there really isn't a dull moment and the foreshadowing is not at all as obvious as it appears. That said - I could do without the excessive exclamation points (Perhaps Jay Anson was an avid reader of Radcliffe!) or the excessive exultations of the numerous servants/guides throughout the novel to which the main characters frequently failed to listen. As a plot device, I found that pretty weak - admittedly because my 21st Century sentiments were a bit vexed at the prospect of action moving forward because the rich guy ignored the poor guy. That said - I'd recommend giving this one a read at some point in your life. A really good classic book by Ann Radcliffe. I really enjoyed Vivaldi as a character, and the amount of family related plot twists in this book is staggering, but fun. It was stressful following the characters around as they had their goalpost move every time they got close to resolving their struggles. I really enjoy how versatile of a character Schedoni is throughout the book, his chapters were some of my favorite. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Im Jahre 1758 begegnen sich die schone Waise Ellena Rosalba und der junge Adelige Vincentio di Vivaldi das erste Mal - fur den heissblutigen Adeligen ist es Liebe auf den ersten Blick, und er weiss auch bald Ellenas Herz zu gewinnen. Doch ihre Liebe steht unter keinem guten Stern: Die stolze Marchesa, die Mutter des jungen Vivaldi, ist gegen die Bindung ihres Sohnes mit einer Burgerlichen. Um die Beziehung zu hintertreiben, heckt sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Beichtvater, dem finsteren Monch Schedoni, grausame Plane aus, die Ellena fur immer aus Vivaldis Leben verbannen sollen... Eine sensible Heldin, ein leidenschaftlicher Held und ein fieser Erzbosewicht - Ranke und Intrigen, Irrungen und Wirrungen, Liebe und Verrat - und das alles vor der historischen Kulisse Italiens zur Zeit der Inquisition. Mit diesen Zutaten schuf Ann Radcliffe im Jahr 1797 diesen grandiosen Schauerroman, der nun in einer liebevollen Neubearbeitung der deutschen Ubersetzung von Meta Forkel-Liebeskind wieder vorliegt."
