The Monk - Matthew Lewis

The Monk (1796) is a landmark Gothic horror novel about Ambrosio, a revered monk in Madrid who, driven by forbidden desire, descends into blasphemy, black magic, and violence. Matthew Lewis’s tale, inspired by folklore and the fears of the French Revolution, shocked readers with its dark themes of temptation, depravity, and moral collapse. Condemned as obscene in its time, it still captivates with its gruesome horrors and insight into 18th-century anxieties. This edition from Oxford World's Classics offers an accurate text, expert introduction, notes, and bibliographies for further study.
