Autorenporträt
Regina Maria Roche (1764–1845) was an Irish novelist, noted primarily for her work 'The Children of the Abbey: A Tale,' published in 1796. Descended from a family of small property in Ireland, Roche was born in Waterford but spent a significant part of her life in England. Her novel 'The Children of the Abbey' was one of the most popular works in English in its time, rivaled only by the writings of Ann Radcliffe. Roche's literary style is characteristic of the Gothic novel, imbued with themes of romance and the supernatural, which were particularly beloved by readers of her time. Through her intricate plots and emotional storytelling, she won the hearts of readers across English-speaking countries, and her books were staples in many 19th-century households. Although her fame dwindled as the Gothic genre lost prominence, recent scholarship in the 20th and 21st centuries has brought renewed interest in Roche's work, recognizing her significance in the landscape of early female novelists and noting the influence her works had on the development of the Gothic literary tradition (Norton, 2000). The longevity of 'The Children of the Abbey,' which was reprinted multiple times over a century, attests to the lasting impact of Roche's literary contributions.
