Editing 'The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne'

Dr Deborah Russell has had the pleasure of editing Radcliffe's very first novel, The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne, for publication as part of The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ann Radcliffe.

In this episode, Dr Russell discusses the novel's contemporary reception, what it reveals to us about Radcliffe's early writing process, and how this changed during the course of her career.

Dr Russell reflects on her editing process, and makes a very strong case for why The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne should be your next read.
