The Romance of the Forest was the third of Ann Radcliffe's six novels, was published in three volumes in 1791, and was her first major success. It tells the story of Adeline, a young woman from the late 17th century nobility who is pursued by a wicked man eventually revealed to be her uncle.
The text is taken from the University of Adelaide ebook library and checked against versions on the Internet Archive. I have silently corrected errors and made changes to spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation using the Collins Online Dictionary.
The book contains many poems as epigraphs or text, and I would appreciate any feedback about how these poems are laid out.
