Set in the late 16th century, the story follows Emily St. Aubert, a young woman grappling with the loss of her parents and the sinister machinations of her aunt's husband, the villainous Signor Montoni. Imprisoned in the ominous castle Udolpho, Emily's plight is compounded by supernatural occurrences and her thwarted romance with Valancourt. The narrative intertwines themes of Gothic horror, romantic longing, and the exploration of familial secrets, all while featuring lush descriptions of exotic landscapes inspired by travel literature.
