Maturin, Charles Robert (1782–1824)

Irish novelist and dramatist. Born into a Huguenot family in Dublin, Maturin was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and ordained in 1803. He is best remembered for his ‘horror’ novels Montario (1807), The Milesian Chief (1812), and Melmoth the Wanderer (1820), which the French writer Honoré de Balzac considered one of the greatest novels in the English language. He also wrote several plays, including the tragedy Bertram (1816), which was successfully produced by Edmund Kean at Drury Lane, Londonderry, in 1816.
