The Orphan of the Rhine is a gothic novel by Eleanor Sleath, listed as one of the seven "horrid novels" by Jane Austen in her novel Northanger Abbey. Subtitled "A Romance" it was published in four volumes by the sensationalist Minerva Press in 1798. It was part of a brief but popular vogue of German tales, a fashion criticized in the Critical Review of June 1807: "So great is the rage for German tales, and German novels, that a cargo is no sooner imported than the booksellers' shops are filled with a multitude of translators, who seize with avidity and without discrimination, whatever they can lay their hands upon...[these novels are] trash...[and] worthless objects." Although most gothic novels took a resolutely anti-Roman Catholic stance, the author of this novel was herself a Catholic.

Sous-titré A Romance (Une histoire romanesque), l'ouvrage a été publié en quatre volumes par l'éditeur à sensation Minerva Press, en 1798. Il appartenait à une brève, mais populaire, vogue de romans allemands, dont la mode avait été critiqué par la Critical Review de juin 1807, qui écrivait : « Si grande est cette rage d'acheter des contes allemands, et des romans allemands, qu'une cargaison n'est pas plus tôt importée que les échoppes de libraires sont envahies d'une multitude de traducteurs, qui s'empare avec avidité et sans discrimination de tout ce sur quoi ils peuvent mettre la main... [ces romans sont] de la littérature de camelotte, des objets sans valeur. » Bien que la plupart des romans gothiques avaient une approche résolument anti-catholique, l'auteur de ce roman-ci était elle-même catholique.
