Sobre IBD

Women; or, Pour et Contre, was Maturin’s fourth novel, published in 1818. A work of deep emotional intensity, Maturin wished to concentrate on 'common life.' But he does so with uncommon psychological penetration for its time, while detailing the painful romantic attractions of two fascinating women-Eva, a deeply religious and innocent girl, and the intellectually superior, talented, and popular Zaira-to the same man, De Courcy. While also satirizing evangelical Christianity (with more good humor than he treats Catholicism in his most famous work, Melmoth the Wanderer) and the intellectual pretensions of high culture and society, it is, to quote Alaric Watts, its 'profound and philosophic melancholy,' 'its terrible researches into the deepest abysses of the human heart,' and its fine characterization of the two women, that makes Women; or, Pour et Contre a novel second only to Melmoth, and in many ways superior to it, while demonstrating the wide literary range of this remarkable Irish novelist.

    The three plays of Charles Robert Maturin, produced in London between 1816 and 1819, document MaturinÕs attempts at theatrical success. His first three novels were not popular, but his luck improved with Bertram (1816), which ran for twenty-two nights. Even with this success in hand, Manuel (1817) and Fredolfo (1819) failed completely, partly through the sabotage of indifferent...
