A best-seller in its day and a potent influence on Sade, Poe, and other purveyors of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic horror, <em>The Mysteries of Udolpho</em> remains one of the most important works in the history of European fiction. After Emily St. Aubuert is imprisoned by her evil guardian,<br>Count Montoni, in his gloomy medieval fortress in the Appenines, terror becomes the order of the day.
