Matthew Lewis – The Monk
Hailed by Coleridge as “a work of no uncommon genius”, Matthew Lewis’ flamboyant late Gothic novel follows the moral and spiritual disintegration of the charismatic Capuchin friar, Ambrosio, as he becomes increasingly embroiled in a dark and turbulent world of sin and damnation. A huge popular hit in its day, the book still takes its enthralled readers on a wild and colourful ride to places more genteel novels rarely care to visit.
