Sir Thomas Isaac Horsley Curties KB (d. 1859) was a British Gothic novelist and a member of the Hanoverian court.[1] He is best remembered for his last novel, The Monk of Udolpho (1807), which drew criticism for its title's apparent plagiarism of the best-selling novels The Monk (1796) and The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794).[2]
