    Charles Robert Maturin
    The three plays of Charles Robert Maturin, produced in London between 1816 and 1819, document MaturinÕs attempts at theatrical success.

Even with this success in hand, Manuel (1817) and Fredolfo (1819) failed completely, partly through the sabotage of indifferent...

Maturin displayed his t...
