註釋Melmoth the Wanderer is a Gothic romance novel by Charles Robert Maturin. The story was first published in 1820.

The story centered around a wandering Jew scholar - Melmoth, who sells his soul in exchange for prolongued life.

"Any writing about devils, spectres, or the supernatural generally, whether in poetry or in prose, had always a fascination for him; at one time, say 1844, his supreme delight teas the blood-curdling romance of Maturin, ' Melmoth the Wanderer.' "
