Summer on the Lakes, in 1843
“sometimes it is "a room in the Castle of Löwenstein, long disused," à la Radcliffe, sometimes "a deserted kitchen.”
Fuller, Margaret. Summer on the Lakes, in 1843. Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1844.
Inferred Fuller uses the phrase 'à la Radcliffe' to characterize the Gothic atmosphere of a 'room in the Castle of Löwenstein, long disused' ? evoking the Gothic novels of Ann Radcliffe as a generic touchstone for atmospheric dread in crumbling aristocratic settings
