'The Monk was so highly popular that it seemed to create an epoch in our literature', wrote Sir Walter Scott. Set in the sinister monastery of the Capuchins in Madrid, The Monk is a violent tale of ambition, murder, and incest. The great struggle between maintaining monastic vows and fulfilling personal ambitions leads its main character, the monk Ambrosio, to temptation and the breaking of his vows, then to sexual obsession and rape, and finally to murder in order to conceal his guilt. Inspired by German horror romanticism and the work of Ann Radcliffe, Lewis produced his masterpiece at the age of nineteen. It contains many typical Gothic elements - seduction in a monastery, lustful monks, evil Abbesses, bandits and beautiful heroines. But, as the Introduction to this new edition shows, Lewis also played with convention, ranging from gruesome realism to social comedy, and even parodied the genre in which he was writing. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感
当时我还是个深受大学政治公共课折磨的无聊人，某个午后去图书馆准备接下来的政治课娱乐，逛了一圈决定还是小说吧，下课刚好看完。 居然就被我瞄到某个角落里的这本书，简介比豆瓣上的详细，对我来说就像夏日惊雷，情节也太夸张太彪悍了（我还没有哥特小说的概念）。...
评分我再一次欣赏到一部世界名著！故事讲的是一个外表道貌岸然的修道院院长实际却是犯了与妖女苟合、杀人、强奸再灭口的滔天罪行！“恶有恶报”，他不知道自己犯下了“弑母”、“乱伦”和屠杀亲人的罪行！因为她们是他失散多年的母亲和妹妹！对此他毫不知情.... 刘易斯这位2...
评分哥特式的小说。慕名而读，但基本是翻阅的，结论：消遣读物，不是经典。 发现的精彩是，此书居然是雨果《巴黎圣母院》的雏形。在译者的前言中也证实，雨果确实是基于此书创作的《巴》。深刻的感受到作者马修.刘易斯，那个19岁的少年，试图打破常规的叛逆和压抑。然而，他又是多...
评分出于对哥特式文学早先时期作品的好奇 我打开了这本富有“浮士德”意味的书… 是一本讲德高望重的修道院院长逐渐堕落的故事 作者19岁时写下了它 文法略显稚嫩 情节也有些无（ě）语（xīn）不能登上文学之大雅之堂 仅可作为消遣读物来阅读 但不得不说 这部作品为后世的哥特风格...

两条情节线脱离稍严重，人物过多有点让人混乱。不过语言流畅自然，一口气读下去不带喘，还算过瘾啦。

评分Too much plots that I can’t even identify which is the main plot and which is subplot......innocent women are tortured cruelly while men have so many opportunities to get away with punishment.
评分现在看来这本起码可读性强多了，尽管书中情节如今都被用烂了，但在当时应该还好
评分无甚吐槽点
