 Michael Gamer, On Two New Editions of Dacre's _Zofloya _ - Romantic Circles Reviews, Romantic Circles
Charlotte Dacre, Zofloya; or, The Moor: A Romance of the Fifteenth Century.
Dacre is not quite early enough to be forgiven her lapses in emotional taste; her political commitments are not easily assimilated into later twentieth-century norms; she is conventionally associated with male Gothic; her novels are populated by sexually predatory, physically violent, mother-hating women of whom the narrations appear to approve.
Craciun's introduction, entitled "Charlotte Dacre and the 'vivisection of virtue,'" is longer than Michasiw's, and provides a similar breadth of detail and engrossing panorama of Dacre's life and the ideas that inform her writing.

The editor of the Oxford edition of Dacre’s novel Zofloya: or, the Moor (1806), notes that her later novel, The Passions (1811) opens with a letter describing a Count Wiemar’s encounter with a chamois hunter he observes asleep near the edge of a cliff in the Alpine mountains.
Dacre’s chamois hunter lives a healthful life of “constant animation” that prevents his soul from suffering “from torpor and despair” (64).
Dacre’s speaker describes the “wild blast driving the heavy clouds over the mountains” and compares his or her inward turmoil to a “stormy ocean” (Hours of Solitude II.66, 67).

She examines canonical writers of the genre—Charlotte Smith, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, Charlotte Dacre Byrne, Mary Shelley, and Emily and Charlotte Brontë—and argues that we should read their works as both rebelling against patriarchical limitations and "encourag[ing] women to assume subject positions of acquiescence and passivity" (p.
At the heart of the gothic heroine's self-victimization, she explains, is the masquerade, a posture of emotional restraint, decorous reason, and "wise passiveness" (merely a kind of passive-aggression) that we recognize in heroines throughout the history of the genre.
If such details as Dacre's debt to Lewis get lost, it is because Gothic Feminism is part of a larger, more ambitious attempt to describe both the male (romantic) and female (gothic) response to shifts in Western European notions of gender during the eighteenth century.

 Broadview Press: Zofloya
The protagonist of Charlotte Dacre's best known novel, Zofloya, or the Moor (1806) is unique in women's Gothic and Romantic literature, and has more in common with the heroines of Sade or M.G. Lewis than with those of Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith or Jane Austen.
The sexual desires and ambition of Dacre's protagonist, Victoria, drive her to seduce, torture and murder.
The text's unusual evocations of the female body and feminine subject are of particular interest in the context of the history of sexuality and of the body; after embarking on a series of violent crimes, Victoria's body actually begins to grow stronger and decidedly more masculine.

Dacre's over-the-top style and depictions of aggressive women challenge numerous assumptions about the "female Gothic," and make this work an important one.
As a recent publisher's blurb has it: "A Gothic tale of lust, betrayal and multiple murder set in fifteenth-century Venice, the novel's most daring aspect is its anatomy of the central character, Victoria's, intense sexual attraction to her Moorish servant Zofloya.

 Varieties of Female Gothic published by Pickering & Chatto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The initial development of the form was led by writers such as Clara Reeve, Ann Radcliffe, Regina Maria Roche, and Charlotte Dacre, and was later adapted by Revolutionary feminist writers such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Hays.
This volume presents a range of cheap Gothic novelettes written by women or adapted from full-length Gothic novels by women; these chapbooks were designed and marketed for lower-class and lower middle-class readers, often sold in the street by hawkers, and also kept in public houses for the entertainment of drinkers.
Like Dacre's earlier Zofloya, which influenced the young radical poet Shelley, The Libertine successfully appealed to middle-class fascination for decadent upper-class libertinism and fear of lower-class blatant sexuality.

The novel follows Victoria's progress from spoilt daughter of indulgent aristocrats, through a period of abuse and captivity, to a career of deepening criminality conducted under Satan's watchful eye.
Charlotte Dacre's narrative deftly displays her heroine's movement from the vitalized position of Ann Radcliffe's heroines to a fully conscious commitment to vice that goes beyond that of `Monk' Lewis's deluded Ambrosio.
The novel's most daring aspect is its anatomy of Victoria's intense sexual attraction to her Moorish servant Zofloya that transgresses taboos both of class and race.

Robinson's continuing popularity is attested to by the fact that her autobiography remained in print throughout the whole of the nineteenth century.
She also found supporters in the likes of poet and novelist Charlotte Dacre, and perhaps less predictable was defended by such prominent and popular Regency figures as journalist William Hazlitt and sports' reporter Pierce Egan.
Just over two hundred years since her death, she is once again hailed as an exceptional writer of poetry and prose and an important contributor to Romanticism.

Course Description --"'There is certainly a pleasure,' with a fierce malignant smile, observed Victoria, 'in the infliction of prolonged torment.'" This statement, from Charlotte Dacre's Zofloya (1806), points to the Gothic preoccupation with pain and pleasure, violence and suffering, repetition and sensationalism.
In this course, we will examine Gothic literature in the Romantic period and contextualize it within the historical and literary moment, with special attention to the French Revolution, canon formation, popular literature, and gender issues.

The Professionalization of Gender from Charlotte Smith to the Brontes
As British women writers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries sought to define how they experienced their era's social and economic upheaval, they helped popularize a new style of bourgeois female sensibility.
Building on her earlier work in Romantic Androgyny, Diane Long Hoeveler examines the Gothic novels of Charlotte Smith, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, Charlotte Dacre Byrne, Mary Shelley and the Brontes to show how these writers helped define femininity for women of the British middle class.
