Zofloya, ou le Maure, Histoire du XVe siècle: Passion, vengeance et désir dans un monde gothique sombre

The blend of Gothic horror and romance makes the narrative so intense. I'm curious whether Charlotte Dacre was influenced by specific legends or her own experiences.

The characters' struggles with control and submission felt quite layered, but also unsettling. How does this reflect the societal norms of the time, or was it more about personal obsession?

Her language is so vivid and gothic, but I wonder if her stylistic choices were meant to accentuate the themes of obsession and madness.
