Summary

Poignantly describing himself as 'a disappointed author' in his own lifetime, Charles Robert Maturin (1780-1824) acutely foresaw the cultural amnesia into which he would fall after his death in 1824. Remembered today for his Gothic masterpiece, Melmoth the Wanderer (1820), Maturin has remained largely marginalised in critical attention to Irish Romantic literature.
