The Wild Irish Boy (1808) was Charles Robert Maturin's second
novel. Set in Ireland and England, the story follows the adventures
of Ormsby Bethel, a young Irishman of uncertain ancestry, as he
navigates through the temptations of high life, the intrigues of
swindlers, gamblers, and fast women, and his own uncertainties
about his place in the societies of both countries. Combining
features of the silver fork novel, coming-of-age story, and to some
degree (in scenes of Irish life) the national novel, The Wild Irish
Boy is an entertaining tale full of unexpected twists and turns,
extravagant scenes of fashionable excess, misguided and dangerous
passions, and long-held secrets with dire consequences: riches and
ruin, both moral and financial. Among the colorful characters is
the too-fascinating Lady Montrevor, cultured, ingenious, and
enigmatic, who adds a dimension of excitement and intrigue that
contributes to making The Wild Irish Boy a novel rich with
conflicting social and moral viewpoints.
