With an Introduction by Kathryn White.
Put together to be shocked. This novel, written in 1796, is a Gothic competition of intercourse, magic and ghastly, ghostly violence not often seen in literature. The Monk is remarkably fashionable in model and tells a breathless story of temptation, imprisonment and betrayal. Matthew Lewis recounts the downfall of Ambrosio, the holier-than-thou monk seduced throughout the partitions of a Madrid abbey till he heads for the utter corruption of the soul. In the meantime, two units of younger lovers are thwarted and the reader thrills to pursuits by means of the woods by bandits and is chilled by the spectre of nuns imprisoned in vermin-ridden and skeleton-crowded vaults.
Late Eighteenth Century audiences have been polarised in opinion as to the novel’s deserves. Lord Byron and the Marquis de Sade have been impressed by Lewis’s daring, whereas Coleridge warned mother and father towards The Monk’s suitability for his or her sons or daughters, describing the novel as ‘poison for youth. In order for you a novel that also terrifies, over 200 years after it was written, there’s none finer than The Monk.
