| Summary | "Les châteaux d'Athlin et de Dunbayne" by Anne Radcliffe is a gothic novel written in the late 18th century. The story unfolds in the Scottish Highlands, revolving around themes of love, revenge, and the struggles between good and evil. Central characters include the noble Osbert, who seeks to avenge his father's murder, his sister Marie, and the valiant young Alleyn, whose paths intertwine amidst a backdrop of political intrigue and personal conflict. At the start of the novel, the setting is established at the castle of Athlin, where Maltida, the grieving widow of the late count, raises her children, Osbert and Marie. The narrative recounts the tragic history of the count's death at the hands of the oppressive Malcolm. As Osbert matures, he becomes consumed by a desire for vengeance against Malcolm, while also fostering a budding friendship with Alleyn. Tensions rise during a traditional festival, setting the stage for impending conflict between the tribes and the treacherous Malcolm. The opening portion masterfully weaves personal loss with epic themes, drawing readers into a richly atmospheric tale of love and valor against a backdrop of tumultuous political strife.
