| | §3. Charles Robert Maturin. VIII. Nineteenth-Century Drama. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part One. The Cambridge ... |
 | | Maturin, in later years, admitted that his acquaintance with life was so limited as to make him dependent on his imagination alone (and he might have added the imagination of other dramatists) for his characters, situations and language. | | | Hazlitt’s last lecture on the dramatic literature of the age of Elizabeth is largely concerned with German influence on the tragedy and romantic drama of his day. | | | The ridicule of The Anti-Jacobin had not opened the eyes of the public to the shortcomings of the drama of Kotzebue; and Coleridge’s translation of Wallenstein appears to have had no corrective influence on taste. |

| | Maturin's novel relates the story of Melmoth, a scholar who traded his soul to Infernal powers in return for answers to all of his questions about the Universe. | | | The novel is worth reading for Maturin's virtuoso touch with structure alone, but also for the wonderful touches and passages, particularly where Melmoth struggles with his conscience and reveals that even fiends have a soul. | | | With its erudition and wit, and its parody of arcane learned manuscripts, this Gothic masterpiece-first published in 1820-follows in the tradition of both the classics of its genre and the works of Cervantes, Swift, and Sterne. |

| | Maturin's Calvinist upbringing lent to his work a strong sense of the soul's relationship with God, which can also be seen in the work of James Hogg, William Godwin and Godwin's daughter, Mary Shelley. | | | He was also influenced by comic writers of epics and romances, such as Cervantes, Swift, Sterne and Diderot. | | | Maturin's tales were, however, always more extravagant and macabre, and led to his reputation as one of the foremost writers of the Gothic school. |

| | Maturin's work was anti Catholic even for its time but the portrayal of the Inquisition, and other "iniquities" of the Catholic church was a popular theme not only of Gothic literature but also among other nineteenth century writers, for example in Charlotte Bronte's Villette, and The Black Robe by Wilkie Collins. | | | Anti Catholic sentiments in English literature have an old history going back to John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. | | | Maturin implicitly criticised organised religion in his works and his writing for the stage was considered an improper connection for a clergyman. |

| | Melmoth the Wanderer, by Charles Maturin |
| | In Volume IV of these stories comes a tale, “Melmoth Reconciled,” which Balzac himself wrote, while under the spell of Maturin’s “great allegorical figure.” Here the unhappy being succeeds in his purpose. | | | Balzac likens the hero of one of his short stories to “Moliere’s Don Juan, Goethe’s Faust, Byron’s Manfred, Maturin’s Melmoth—great allegorical figures drawn by the greatest men of genius in Europe.” | | | The author, Charles Robert Maturin, a needy, eccentric Irish clergyman of 1780–1824, could cause intense suspense and horror—could read keenly into human motives—could teach an awful moral lesson in the guise of fascinating fiction, but he could not stick to a long story with simplicity. |

| | Honoré de Balzac and Charles Baudelaire later expressed fondness for Maturin's work, particularly his most famous novel, Melmoth the Wanderer. | | | They did, however, catch the attention of Sir Walter Scott, who recommended Maturin's work to Lord Byron. | | | Charles Robert Maturin, also known as C.R. Maturin (born September 25, 1782 in Dublin; died October 30, 1824 in Dublin) was an Anglo-Irish Protestant clergyman (ordained by the Church of Ireland) and a writer of gothic plays and novels. |

| | There is even a clear echo in a sentiment expressing something like "and humanity returned, like a slowly rising tide", meaning Stephen Maturin's temper improving after he eats his breakfast, and also a similar experience for one of Melmoth's victims. | | | This is a brilliant 18th century book, the original horror novel---and clearly an inspiration for Patrick O'Brian in some ways, not just the name Maturin for the main character, along of Aubrey of course, but also in some sense the mood, occasionally. |
