One
of the
seven
"horrid
novels"
named
in Jane
Austen's
Northanger
Abbey,
The Castle
of Wolfenbach
is perhaps
the most
important
of the
early
Gothic
novels,
predating
both The
Mysteries
of Udolpho
and The
Monk.
In the
story,
Matilda
Weimar
flees
her lecherous
and incestuous
uncle
and seeks
refuge
in the
ancient
Castle
of Wolfenbach.
Among
the castle's
abandoned
chambers,
Matilda
discovers
the horrifying
mystery
of the
missing
Countess
of Wolfenbach..
