The Monk

The story of a monk who succumbs to the temptations of a young girl, Lewis`s early 19th-century novel was vilified in its time as obscene, blasphemous, and morally corrupt. It was, however, admired by many of the great writers of its time--from the Marquis de Sade to Emily Bronte. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
