- Summary:
- Written by an eccentric Anglican curate in Dublin, 'Melmoth the Wanderer' brought the terrors of the Gothic novel to a new pitch of claustrophobic intensity. Its tormented villain, a Faustian transgressor desperately seeking a victim to release him from his fatal bargain with the devil, regarded by Balzac as one of the great outcasts of modern literature.
