PRINTED IN CANADA PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION THE following work was found in the library of an ancient Catholic family in the north of England. It was printed at Naples, in the black letter, 1 in the year 1529. How much sooner it was written does not appear. The principal incidents are such as were believed in the darkest ages of Christianity; but the language and conduct have nothing that savors of that barbarism. The style is the purest Italian. If the story was written near the time when it is supposed to have happened, it must have been between 1095, the era of the first crusade, and 1243, the date of the last, or not long afterwards. There is no other circumstance in the work, that can lead us to guess at the period in which the scene is laid. The names of the actors2 are evidently fictitious, and probably dis­ guised on purpose: yet the Spanish names of the domestics seem to indicate that this work was not composed until the establish­ ment of the Arragonian kings in Naples3 had made Spanish appellations familiar in that country. The beauty of the diction, and the zeal of the author (moderated, however, by singular judgement), concur to make me think, that the date of the com­ position was little antecedent to that of the impression. Letters were then in their most flourishing state in Italy, and contributed to dispel the empire of superstition, at that time so forcibly attacked by the reformers. It is not unlikely, that an artful priest might endeavour to turn their own arms on the innovators; and might avail himself of his abilities as an author to confirm the populace in their ancient errors and superstitions. If this was his view, he has certainly acted with signal address. Such a work as the following would enslave a hundred vulgar minds, beyond half the books of controversy that have been written from the days of Luther" to the present hour.

  • BAU Otranto 2014 2014 Marked the 11Th Year of the BAU Otranto June Residency
    the bau institute www.bauinstitute.org BAU Otranto 2014 2014 marked the 11th year of the BAU Otranto June residency. 14 Residents in visual arts, writing and performance enjoyed uninterrupted time for the creation of new work in the historic city of Otranto in Puglia, Italy. Artist Residents were free to make their own schedule of studio practice balanced with group dinners and outings that they enjoyed together. They lived in independent apartments in the heart of the walled town on the Adriatic Sea. This unique setting enabled undisturbed creativity, while still offering interaction with the local community of Otranto and the neighboring towns. Writers generally worked at home in apartments with sea views. Visual artists used the Aragonese Castle of Otranto as their studio. “Otranto gives me a feeling of simplicity and of calm blue space. Time does not so much slow down there as expand. Somehow, without feeling pressure or stress, I am able to get stunning amounts of creative work done while fully immersing myself in the landscape, the amazing food, and the energy of my fellow writers, artists and friends. It’s a bit of a miracle. “ During my first residency, in 2009, I essentially wrote my first published novel. And during my most recent residency, in 2014, I was able to conceive and lay the groundwork for my next book. It was a project that seemed very complicated before I arrived in Otranto. But once I came and fell into the rhythm of the magical place, my work revealed itself to be simple and direct.” “ I could not be more grateful

  • John Carter's Visualisation of the Castle of Otranto Peter N. Lindfield 10 Old Harbour
    Heraldic and Architectural Imagination: John Carter’s Visualisation of The Castle of Otranto Peter N. Lindfield 10 Old Harbour Square Stirling FK8 1RB [email protected] Abstract Horace Walpole (1717–97) is well known for two important Gothic projects realised in mid eighteenth-century Britain: his villa, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham (1750–80); and The Castle of Otranto (1764), a Gothic novel. These two manifestations of Walpole’s ‘Gothic imagination’ are frequently linked in critical literature on the Gothic Revival and medievalism more broadly; the relationship between Strawberry Hill, Otranto and manuscript illustrations visualising Otranto’s narrative has, on the other hand, received far less attention. This article brings together a number of important and hitherto overlooked sources that help address this imbalance. In particular, it examines two large-scale watercolours by John Carter (1748–1817) that narrate some of Otranto’s pivotal scenes, allowing critically overlooked subtleties in their iconographies to emerge. The work establishes how Carter’s pre-existing interests — in particular, in Gothic architectural forms and heraldry — are harnessed to govern his representations of Otranto. These paintings, together with Carter’s other illustrations, demonstrate Walpole’s authorship of Otranto, expressed through codes hidden in plain sight. Unlike the frequently touted link between Strawberry Hill and Otranto in secondary criticism, Carter’s illustrations, the argument reveals, does not explicitly make this connection. John Carter and the Visualisation of The Castle of Otranto Horace Walpole’s novel, The Castle of Otranto: A Story, published on Christmas Eve 1764, is typically presented as the first ‘Gothic novel’.1 It was not until the second edition of Otranto (1765), however, that the work acquired the subtitle A Gothic Story: only then was it explicitly framed as a piece of ‘Gothic’ fiction.
