William Hamilton Maxwell

William Hamilton Maxwell (1792 - 1850) was a Scots-Irish novelist. He was born at Newry, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He entered the army, and saw service in the Peninsula, and was at the Battle of Waterloo. Afterwards he took orders, but was deprived of his living for non-residence. His novels, O'Hara, and Stories from Waterloo, started the school of rollicking military fiction, which culminated in the novels of Lever. Maxwell also wrote a Life of the Duke of Wellington (1839-1841), and a History of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 (1845). Maxwell, William Hamilton Maxwell, William Hamilton
