Join us as we continue our literary journey with gothic writer/novelist Regina Maria Roche who wrote very much in the shadow of Ann Radcliffe. Roche's novel "The Children of the Abbey" was one of the period’s most popular novels, a sentimental Gothic Romance. Her book, "Clermont"¸ was Roche’s only real attempt at writing a truly Gothic novel, and is decidedly darker in tone than anything else she wrote. She wrote 11 more novels, mostly set in the rural Ireland she returned to in the 1820s. All in all during her time Regina Maria Roche was a best seller who success as a gothic writer made an impact on the world of literature. Join us as we journey with Regina Maria Roches.
