    When tragedy strikes on his son's wedding day, Lord Manfred believes it is a foreboding omen, and will do whatever it takes to stop it-no matter how immoral. Set in the 18th century, The Castle of Otranto begins on the day Manfred's son, Conrad, was meant to be married. Known for his sickly nature, Conrad is the eldest child of two, and is set to marry Princess Isabella, a union that would reap strong benefits for the noble family. However, when tragedy strikes right before the ceremony, Manfred is terrified that it is a premonition of a bad luck curse. Paranoid that the curse would threaten his bloodline, he leaps into action. Determined to strengthen his legacy before it's too late, Manfred decides to divorce his wife so that he can marry Isabella in his son's place. However, when Isabella adamantly refuses, Manfred slips into a manic state of immorality, as he becomes desperate to do whatever it takes to marry Isabella. After Theodore, a brave peasant man with mysterious origins, becomes dedicated to protecting Isabella from Manfred, the lord must outsmart and overpower the couple to get his way. Through coercion, capture, and even murder, Manfred will do anything to avoid the threat of a curse. First published under a pseudonym in 1764, The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole is regarded as the first gothic horror novel, a literary genre that later flourished in the 18th and 19th century. Walpole's work has shaped the modern-day gothic aesthetic in literature, film, art, and music. The Castle of Otranto and the genre it inspired also encouraged many major writers, such as Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, and Edgar Allan Poe. Featuring a dark narrative, twists, tragedy, and elements of surrealism, The Castle of Otranto is dramatic and shocking, enthralling from start to finish. This edition of The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole features an eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, The Castle of Otranto caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the original innovation of Horace Walpole's work.

    From the eerie corridors of ancient strongholds to the depths of ancestral secrets, The Castle of Otranto and The Old English Baron are captivating works of classic horror with significant influence in the history of gothic fiction. Esteemed and highly influential, Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764) was England's first gothic horror novel, but when Clara Reeve rewrote the story as The Old English Baron (1778) over thirty years later, her work was received with heavy criticism. With looming curses and familial treachery, both works are set in the medieval era with atmospheres steeped in relentless suspense. Yet, where Walpole's prolific work blurs the line between realism and the supernatural, Reeve rewrote the fantastical story with features of naturalism for the modern reader. Discover the origins of gothic fiction in these two prolific novels and read their comparisons and critiques in this volume's featured excerpts by H. P. Lovecraft and Montague Summers.

    Horace Walpoles Kurzroman "The Castle of Otranto", der zuerst anonym als angebliche Übersetzung eines spätmittelalterlichen italienischen Manuskripts veröffentlicht wurde, prägt seit zweieinhalb Jahrhunderten die Romangeschichte und ist so zeitlos, dass er jede Lesergeneration wieder aufs Neue zu fesseln vermag. Gerühmt von literarischen Größen wie Walter Scott und Lord Byron, wurde dieser Prototyp des Schauerromans seit seiner Ersterscheinung im Jahre 1764 in mehr als 130 verschiedenen englischsprachigen Ausgaben veröffentlicht. Ins Deutsche wurde Otranto erstmals 1810 übersetzt, aber bis heute wurde dem kanonischen Roman bei uns nicht die ihm gebührende Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Mit dieser völlig neuen Übertragung des Heinrich-Maria-Ledig-Rowohlt-Übersetzerpreisträgers Hans Wolf erhält Walpoles Otranto jetzt endlich seinen wohlverdienten Ehrenplatz inmitten der übrigen Textura-Klassiker. In einem Nachwort reflektiert Norbert Miller den Stellenwert, der dem Werk in der Literaturgeschichte zukommt.
