Description and Narration in Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho

http://www.victorianweb.org/previctorian/radcliffe/radcliffe3.html

"In this passage from The Mysteries of Udolpho. note how Radcliffe begins with exposition and then, in the second paragraph, switches to her narrated description or word-painting. In the paragraphs below Ihave added underlining to point out typically Gothic (or Gothick) images, descriptions, and emphases. In contrast, I have used a bold font to highlight the techniques that constitute her word-painting."

Examples of Word-painting from Ann Radliffe's The Mysteries ofUdolpho: A Romance (1794)

http://www.victorianweb.org/technique/radcliffe.html

"Ann Radcliffe seemed have invented the technique of proto-cinematic -- or narrative -- description called word-painting. In the following passages from the Oxford University Press two-volume edition The Mysteries of Udolpho: A Romance, note how she first creates a center of perception or narrative eye and then moves it in such a way as to pan across the narrated scene."
