Walpole wrote horror novels that tended more towards the psychological rather than supernatural, with a brooding underlying mysticism. He achieved financial and literary success with Fortitude. The novel is a romance; a fairytale about a young man who very naively believes in almost everything; one of the author's school stories based on his experiences as a teacher, and an epic account of another young writer in the making. Its opening line acts as a clarion call: It isn't life that matters, but the courage you bring to it!
