Charlotte Dacre's The Passions is a thrilling gothic novel of thwarted love turned to hate, and the destructive power of uncontrolled emotion. It offers a powerful portrait of female treachery, engaging with nineteenth-century religious controversies, and championing Enlightenment rationality over the emotionality of Romanticism.
