Synopsis
The story of a monk who succumbs to the temptations of a young girl, Lewis's early 19th-century novel was vilified in its time as obscene, blasphemous, and morally corrupt. It was, however, admired by many of the great writers of its time--from the Marquis de Sade to Emily Brontë.

Industry Reviews
"'The Monk' is one of the authentic prodigies of English fiction, a book in spite of its various crudeness so good that even after a century and a half it is possible to consider it unhistorical."
