Description
The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis is a sensational Gothic novel that explores themes of sex, death, politics, and Satanism. At its centre is the story of Ambrosio, an abbot who becomes seduced by a mysterious woman and ultimately sells his soul to the Devil.
This extravagant blend of literature, history, and philosophy has captivated readers for centuries, including the Marquis de Sade. The Broadview edition of this novel includes a critical introduction and appendices that provide valuable insights into its literary sources, historical contexts, and critical reception.
