Gerald Griffin (1803-1840) was an Irish novelist, poet and playwright. The son of a brewer, he went to London in 1823 and became a reporter for one of the daily papers, and later turned to writing fiction. In 1838 he burned all of his unpublished manuscripts, joined the Catholic religious order "Congregation of Christian Brothers" in Cork, and died at their monastery.
