Master of Gothic horror, Matthew Lewis was an English novelist and dramatist, whose 1796 novel 'The Monk' made him famous overnight, achieving sensational success. Written when Lewis was nineteen, its was influenced by the leading Gothic writer Ann Radcliffe and by contemporary German literature. Its emphasis on horror rather than romance, amorality over religion, with a penchant for violence and eroticism, it was avidly read, though universally condemned. As well as numerous poems, plays and stories, Lewis' other enduring work is 'Journal of a West India Proprietor', offering an important historical resource for the study of the slave trade. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Lewis' complete fictional works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
