'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.

評分著名的哥特派小說,哥特式作品崇尚宗教,但反過來所謂魔鬼也是必定會齣現的,這點與日本平安朝時代非常類似。而此書更是集大成,男女愛情、亂倫、私奔、密室、城堡、地獄、魔鬼、精靈、群眾暴動、秘密監禁、死而復生等一應俱全,令人目不暇接。 那為什麼此書會受到爭議呢?原因...

評分會有點疑惑,哥特式小說的荒誕、恐怖放在今天的大環境下,是不是有點過時和不與時俱進? 劇情的發展很簡單,總是一個人、一個時間點就能觸發情節的發展。人都不可能是完美的,總有這樣那些缺點,如果我老是抱著完美的態度對待,那不是自己給自己找不痛快麼?但...
