Summary "Charles Robert Maturin: His Life and Works" by Niilo Idman is a biographical study written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and contributions of the relatively obscure yet influential writer Charles Robert Maturin, shedding light on his role within the Romantic movement and his lasting impact on literature.

The opening of the book establishes the author's intent and outlines the challenges faced during its compilation. Niilo Idman discusses his efforts to collect materials concerning Maturin's life and works, acknowledging gaps in accuracy due to limited access to primary sources. The text introduces Maturin's lineage, upbringing, and early educational pursuits, hinting at the literary influences that shaped his career as a novelist and playwright.
