Ann Radcliffe (née Ward; 9 July 1764 – 7 February 1823) was an English author and a pioneer of Gothic fiction. Her technique of explaining apparently supernatural elements in her novels has been credited with gaining Gothic fiction respectability in the 1790s.
She is best-known for The Mysteries of Udolpho. Marquis de Sade mentioned her work in his literary essay Reflections on the Novel.
