Anne Radcliffe was an English writer, one of the creators of the Gothic novel. Within seven years, she wrote novels that made her famous throughout Europe, after which Anne Radcliffe forever put the pen, deciding that the loud fame interferes with peace of mind. Almost all the great English writers of the XIX century in one way or another experienced its influence: Walter Scott, Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Stevenson, Mein Reid. In Russia, "creepy" prose Radcliffe for many years remained almost the most popular foreign literature. Dostoevsky wrote that the novels Radcliffe excited him since childhood, and Zagoskin recognized her as one of his favorite authors. "Udolph Mysteries" - the most popular work of Anne Radcliffe, full of terrible secrets, mystical premonitions, paranormal and tragic events. From the very first pages, the reader is immersed in that special atmosphere, which is the hallmark of the greatest gothic novel of the late XVIII century. In this edition, for the first time in Russia, the text of the novel is accompanied by illustrations by French artists of the 19th century.
