Melmoth the Wanderer

★ 10.00 / 1

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, was regarded by Balzac as one of the great outcasts of modern literature.
