Conclusion
Did Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho move, teach, or entertain its audience? Did it survive the tides and trends of culture to remain relevant to a new generation? If the information presented on this website helps to indicate that the answer to these questions is YES, then I have fulfilled my goal. A master of descriptive language and suspense, Ann Radcliffe remains an inspiration to readers of Gothic literature, whether they are scholars or simply ‘fans’ like Henry Tilney. I hope that whoever takes a look at my page will turn very soon to Radcliffe’s pages, and experience the Mysteries of Udolpho for him- or herself.
THE END
