PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
First published in 1764, Walpole's classic Gothic tale takes place in and around the 15th-century Crusader castle on the Adriatic in Apulia. A fine example of one of the earlier forms of the novel, Walpole's work -- which he proclaimed was his favorite of all he wrote -- also takes influence from Shakespeare's plays.
