 | | Melmoth was a mysterious, satanic hero who was cursed to roam the earth. | | | I reverted the following recent anonymous change pending a citation "He went under the assumed name of 'Sebastian Melmoth', after Saint Sebastian: "The Cursed Wanderer," as well as the central character of the gothic novel Melmoth the Wanderer." The bolded portion was inserted; I reverted it. | | | Google search on "Saint Sebastian" + "The Cursed Wanderer" produces nothing. |

| | that his pursuit of Melmoth was incessant and indefatigable... | | | Such was the conclusion of the manuscript which Melmoth found in his uncle's closet. | | | Melmoth looked wistfully at the candles, snuffed them, and still thought they looked dim, (perchance he thought they burned blue, but such thought he kept to himself). |

| | Above all, there is an idiosyncrasy about the book which has attracted good wits both at home and abroad—Balzac is one famous instance and Dante Rossetti another—and which it is rather difficult to understand how any good wit, if possessed of the power of critical winnowing, can miss. | | | A worse constructed book hardly exists: for it is a perfect tangle of stories within stories. | | | Women followed, in 1818; and then, in 1820, he produced his masterpiece Melmoth the Wanderer. |

| | Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin, 0192821997, Lowest Book Price Finder |
| | Doomed by Satanic pact to wander the earth, Melmoth stives to tempt others to share his fate, scouring the dungeons of the Spanish Inquisition, amonst other places, for his victims, seeking those in the direst extremity of suffering- those for whom his bargain will seem an unexpected mercy. | | | The Monk is an easier read and is faster paced, but Melmoth really has an evil, demonic quality which is far darker than anything that the Monk has to offer. | | | A faustian tale with a rich variety of sub plots. |

| | MELMOTH THE WANDERER - Charles Maturin - Penguin Classics |
| | In a satanic bargain, Melmoth has sold his soul in exchange for immortality and now preys on the helpless in their darkest moments, offering to ease their suffering if they will take his place and release him from his tortured wanderings. | | | His story is pieced together by those who have glimpsed his eerie existence over the centuries – from a prisoner in the clutches of the Spanish Inquisition to a man incarcerated in a London lunatic asylum. | | | Violent, allusive, profound and blackly humorous, Melmoth the Wanderer was greatly admired by writers such as Balzac, Poe, Dostoyevsky and Oscar Wilde for its baroque imagery and hallucinatory power. |

| | Papers on Language and Literature: "Servility and command": Authorship in Melmoth the Wanderer | | | Maturin's "malignance" may thus be attributed to his ambivalence about authorship, ambivalence born of his desire for both money and social respectability, and of his knowledge that audiences of his day were not likely to bestow both upon clergymen who wrote Gothic romance. | | | This genteel upbringing did not prepare Maturin for the demands made upon him by his family later in life. |

| | The Literary Gothic Charles Maturin |
| | Irish writer (and great-uncle of Oscar Wilde) best known as the author of Melmoth the Wanderer, the work considered by many to be the last traditional "Gothic" novel. | | | This volume is part of a larger (776K) file (a collection of mystery works entitled "The Lock and Key Library"); scroll down or search for "Melmoth the Wanderer" to get to Maturin's (e)text. | | | Personally, I'd vote for Harrison Ainsworth's Rookwood; Melmoth may be less the last of its kind that one of the first of a new kind, or at least a transitional work that marks the evolution away from conventional Gothic and its reliance on external atmospherics to a more psychological Gothic. |
