Abstract
Abstract This note identifies, for the first time, the author of Love and Horror, a mock-heroic parody of the gothic novel published under the pseudonym ‘Ircastrensis’ in 1812. The Revd Henry Barry (1781-1850) wrote at least one other novel before settling into a comfortable life as a Wiltshire rector and unsuccessful dabbler in British history and Shakespearean emendation; among his several children was the much better known Victorian novelist Emma Newby (1826-1899), who in 1862 edited her father’s final book, a ‘manual of happiness’.
