The Monk, by Matthew Gregory Lewis, was published in 1796, at the height of the English Gothic novel. Set in Madrid, the main plot of this “romance in three volumes” can be summed up in few lines: Ambrosio, a new-born baby, is left at the doorstep of a Convent and taken inside. Throughout decades, Ambrosio achieves a great reputation for his holiness and oratorical skills, until the moment he is seduced by a woman who, disguised, joined his religious Order so that she could be nearer to him.
