First published in 1789, and Radcliffe's first published work, this novel combines feudal Scottish Highlands with the 18th century's cult of sensibility. Lady Matilda's son Osbert leaves the safety of her castle to avenge his father's death. As he travels through the Highlands seeking the Baron of Dunbayne, he discovers a shocking secret. Radcliffe [1764-1823] wrote many shocking novels, including one famously read by Isabella Thorpe and Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey.
