Considered the last great English romance of the gothic era, Melmoth the Wanderer relates the adventures of a diabolical figure who sold his soul in exchange for prolonged life. The story begins in the early 19th century, when John Melmoth learns the fate of his ancestor by reading a secret document through his contact with a mysterious Spanish sailor. The sailor, who was himself tempted by Melmoth, tells of the Wanderer’s many failed attempts to win souls for the devil so as to free himself from his own pact. A complex weaving of tales-within-tales, the story is a thrilling procession of intrigue, horror and supernatural elements that together justify its place as a classic of the genre.
