Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Italian were wildly popular, oft-imitated instances of the gothic romances written in England during the tradition's original Anglophone heyday (1764-1830). All the accoutrements of a gothic romance are here (including a handsome steward who soon reveals his underlying villainy), but the story is set in an alternative land where devout people worship the Birds of Light and fear the Birds of Night, are protected by amulets, and consult the Table of Significance whenever a wild bird is seen.
