Description

Melmoth The Wanderer By Charles Robert Maturin

An 1820 Gothic novel by Irish playwright, novelist and clergyman Charles Robert Maturin. The novel’s title character is a scholar who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for 150 extra years of life, and searches the world for someone who will take over the pact for him, in a manner reminiscent of the Wandering Jew. The novel is composed of a series of nested stories-within-stories, gradually revealing the story of Melmoth’s life. The novel offers social commentary on early-19th-century England, and denounces Roman Catholicism in favour of the virtues of Protestantism.

The Library Association reprint of the 1892 edition published by Richard Bentley. A New Edition from the Original Text with a Memoir and Bibliography of Maturin’s Works.
