The book is aáprime example of Gothic horror. Often imitated,áadapted numerous times for stage and screen,áThe Monk is one of the most important Gothicánovels of its time.Poetic Justice Books Classics presents Lewis&rsquo,áoriginal 1796 text of The Monk, as publishedábefore the various revisions made by Lewisáand his publishers in attempts to avoid chargesáof blasphemy. The 1797 review of the book byáSamuel Taylor Coleridge from the prestigiousáCritical Review is included as a bonus.
