Release Date: December 15, 2011| ISBN-10: 0719085322 | ISBN-13: 978-0719085321A self-described “disappointed author,” Charles Robert Maturin (1780-1824) has been largely relegated to the margins of literary history since his death in 1824.

Publication Date: July 16, 2010 Gothic Riffs: Secularizing the Uncanny in the European Imaginary, 1780–1820 by Diane Long Hoeveler provides the first comprehensive study of what are called “collateral gothic” genres—operas, ballads, chapbooks, dramas, and melodramas—that emerged out of the gothic novel tradition founded by Horace Walpole, Matthew Lewis, and Ann Radcliffe.
