First published in an era when most novels about young women concentrated on courtship and ended with marriage, The Recess daringly portrays women involved in political intrigues, overseas journeys, and even warfare. The novel is set during the reign of Elizabeth I and features as narrators twin daughters of Mary, Queen of Scots, by a secret marriage. One of the earliest Gothic novels, The Recess pioneered the genre of historical fiction. The novel was also one of the first to describe characters and events from conflicting points of view and was wildly popular in its day.

The Recess
This book, written in 1785, is not an easy read. The writing is very old style and requires close reading to understand. The story is quite interesting, with a mix of fictional and historic figures. There is a lot of fainting and swooning and crying - the women were depicted as very emotional but also very strong with enduring life's trials. The men they fell in love with were not very admirable - vain and weak and more concerned with their pride and honor than the women they claim to love.
Glad I read this finally but it was a very slow read. Not the book for most.
