The writer of a 1797 review in The Monthly Review praised Radcliffe ’ s visual and descriptive language in the novel, citing “ the part … which displays the greatest genius, and the most force of description, is the account of the scenes which passed in the long house on the shore of the Adriatic, between Schedoni, Ellena, and Spalatro :-The horrible sublimity which characterizes the discovery made by the former that Ellena was his daughter, at the instant in which he was about to stab her, was perhaps unparalleled .” This style of ‘ painting the sublime ’ reflects the preference for allegorical or transcendent imagery over physical or realistic imagery in the Gothic literary and artistic period.
