Perspective and Framing in Ann Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho and in the Work of Caspar David Friedrich

Abstract

This article is a comparison between the works of Ann Radcliffe and Caspar David Friedrich based on the analysis of the relationship that is established between the observer and the landscape, as well as on the ways of representing this relationship, namely by analysing the selected perspectives and framings. In this paper, we focus on compositional and organizational strategies of landscape, and also on thematology, as it represents an inescapable way of approaching both these works.
