Notes

One of two translations of Radcliffe's 'The Italian'.

Announced in Journal de Paris (March 1797). Reviews in La Décade philosophique (18 June) and Mercure français (28 July).

See Dorothy Medlin, "Anne Radcliffe's Italian in French", in 'Une littérature anglaise de l'inquiétude', pp.12-13. https://books.google.be/books?id=0TG5SxKyoyIC&pg=PA12&dq=eleonore+de+rosalba+mary+gay&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi4r6qrxIDpAhWEsaQKHUxmCzcQ6AEIZjAH#v=onepage&q=eleonore%20de%20rosalba%20mary%20gay&f=false.
