Radcliffe: The Roots of Gothic Tradition |

Radcliffe was one of the first and most popular 18th-century
novelists in England. Then history — and readers — forgot her.
Today, literary scholar Deborah Rogers is changing that. Her
extensive research on the reclusive writer sheds new light on
Radcliffe's indisputable role in shaping the Gothic genre and
strengthening heroines — elements that echo today throughout pop
culture. |

Family-Based Treatment Clinic, Kaleb, his parents and his sister
worked with speech pathologists to develop the techniques to help
him communicate better. |
