About The Castle of Otranto

The Castle of Otranto (1764) — Horace Walpole's founding text of the Gothic novel: the ancient castle, the ancestral curse, the tyrannical villain, the endangered maiden, the supernatural appearances. All the conventions of the genre originated here. The Castle of Otranto is the direct ancestor of Radcliffe, Lewis, Shelley, Stoker, and the entire Gothic tradition.
