The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe

In 1787, she married William Radcliffe, the Oxford graduate and journalist. Although mixing in some distinguished circles, Radcliffe seemingly made little impression in this society, and Wedgwood described her as 'Bentley's shy niece.' Radcliffe occasionally lived with her uncle, Thomas Bentley, in Chelsea in partnership with a fellow Unitarian, Josiah Wedgwood. William Radcliffe, her father and a haberdasher, moved the family to Bath to manage a china shop in 1772.
