Paper Summary:
This paper examines how Ann Radcliffe's "The Italian" uses the convents of San Stefano and Santa della Pieta to explore themes of seclusion, sanctuary, confinement. In particular, the paper looks at how each place brings the character of Ellena closer to understanding who she is.From the Paper:
"When Bianchi dies, Ellena's situation becomes markedly worse. She has lost (so far as she knows) her only living relative, so she has effectively lost her family name. Up to then, she has been living is relative seclusion in a house "a short distance to the west of the city" (10). She has lost this home where she could live respectably in a "veil of retirement" (9). Finally, she has lost her chaperone, so her virtue and character can be called further into question. She has been thrown into "a new and homeless world" (60)."More papers on "The Italian":
