This is the first edition for nearly 200 years of an unduly neglected work originally published in 1806 by an intriguing and unconventional woman writer. A Gothic tale of lust betrayal and multiple murder set in fifteenth-century Venice the novel's most daring aspect is its anatomy of the central character Victoria's intense sexual attraction to her Moorish servant Zofloya. A minor scandal on its first publication and a significant influence on Byron and Shelley it contradicts idealized stereotypes in women's writing and challenges the received idea of the Gothic genre's representation of passive victimized women.
