Ann Radcliffe (nee, Ward 9 July 1764 - 7 February 1823) was an English author and a pioneer of the Gothic literature genre. Her style is romantic in its vivid descriptions of landscapes and long travel scenes, yet the Gothic element is obvious through her use of the supernatural. It was her technique of explained Gothicism, the final revelation of inexplicable phenomena, that helped the Gothic novel achieve respectability in the 1790s.
