  Eugene Aram - LoveToKnow 1911
EUGENE ARAM (1704-1759), English scholar, but more famous as the murderer celebrated by Hood in his ballad, the Dream of Eugene Aram, and by Bulwer Lytton in his romance of Eugene Aram, was born of humble parents at Ramsgill, Yorkshire, in 1704.
Aram's writings show that he had grasped the right idea on the subject of the Indo-European character of the Celtic language, which was not established till J. Prichard published his book, Eastern Origin of the Celtic Nations, in 1831.
Aram conducted his own defence, and did not attempt to overthrow Houseman's evidence, although there were some discrepancies in that; but made a skilful attack on the fallibility of circumstantial evidence in general, and particularly of evidence drawn from the discovery of bones.

 Squashed Writers - Eugene Aram by Edward Bulwer Lytton - condensed and abridged
When Eugene Aram arrived at the manor house in keeping with his promise, something appeared to rest upon his mind, from which, however, by the excitement lent by wine and occasional bursts of eloquence, he seemed striving to escape, and at length he apparently succeeded.
Aram was advancing the view that it is impossible for a man who leads the life of the world ever to experience content.
Aram, regaining the side of Madeline, explained, in answer to her startled inquiries, that the man, whom he had known well some fourteen years ago, had again come to ask for his help, and he supposed that he would again have to aid him.

Aram, Aram, if the father's death came from you, shall the life of the son be made a burthen to him, through you also?" "What would you have of me? speak!" said Aram, but without lifting his face from his breast.

 §2. Criminal biography; "Paul Clifford and Eugene Aram". XIII. Lesser Novelists. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part ...
The character Thornton, in Pelham, is drawn from the actual murderer Thurtell; in The Disowned (1829), Crauford is a representation of the fraudulent banker Fauntleroy; Lucretia, or The Children of the Night (1846), is based on the career of the forger Wainewright.
The point of view is different in Paul Clifford (1830), and Eugene Aram (1832), which all into line with The Robbers (1782), Caleb Williams (1794), The Monk (1795), The Borderers written 1795-6, Melmoth (1820) and other books 2 concerned with the criminal’s justification of himself and demand for sympathy and understanding.
The melodramatic law-court scenes of Paul Clifford and Eugene Aram are earlier evidences of the theatrical skill with which Lytton composed his dramas, chief among them Richelieu (1838), The Lady of Lyons (1838) and the comedy Money (1840).

Aram looked down on Lester with a compassionate expression; and soothing him with kind words, and promises that all would be explained, gently moved from his hold, and, anxious to terminate the scene, silently motioned the officers to proceed.
Aram smiled, as half in scorn, half through incredulity; and, shaking his head gently, moved on without further words.

Having the protagonist cast his confession in the form of a dream was an inspired decision, and fits well the slightly fevered tone of the poem, as does his catching hold of the fearful boy in a manner reminiscent of Coleridge's 'Ancient Mariner'.

Aram now summoned the only domestic his house possessed, who appeared in the form of an old woman, whom he seemed to have selected from the whole neighbourhood as the person most in keeping with the rigid seclusion he preserved.
Aram looked upon him wistfully; the bright eye, the healthy cheek, and vigorous frame of the youth, suited with his desire to seek the conflict of his kind, and gave a naturalness to his ambition, which was not without interest, even to the recluse.

 The Newgate Calendar - EUGENE ARAM
EUGENE ARAM was born in a village called Netherdale, in Yorkshire, in the year 1704, of an ancient family, one of his ancestors having served the office of High Sheriff for that county in the reign of Edward III.
In the infancy of Aram his parents removed to another village, called Shelton, near Newby, in the said county; and when about six years of age, his father, who had laid by a small sum from his weekly labour, made a purchase of a little cottage in Bondgate, near Ripon.
But, amid these learned labours and inquiries, it appears that Aram committed a crime which could not naturally have been expected from a man of so studious a turn, as the inducement that led him to it was merely gain of wealth, of which the scholar is seldom covetous.
