具体描述
'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.

读后感
出于对哥特式文学早先时期作品的好奇 我打开了这本富有“浮士德”意味的书… 是一本讲德高望重的修道院院长逐渐堕落的故事 作者19岁时写下了它 文法略显稚嫩 情节也有些无（ě）语（xīn）不能登上文学之大雅之堂 仅可作为消遣读物来阅读 但不得不说 这部作品为后世的哥特风格...
评分有了信仰就失去了人性的自由，就像许多宗教都要求克服人性的阴暗，比如禁欲要求行善，但这些与人类的天性相互矛盾，很少人能够彻底摆脱恶行，一旦你所信奉的宗教信仰认为你所不能克服的贪欲是恶行，那么必然召来你所认为的不幸，而这种天性即使不幸降临也无法彻底使人们摆脱欲...
评分当时我还是个深受大学政治公共课折磨的无聊人，某个午后去图书馆准备接下来的政治课娱乐，逛了一圈决定还是小说吧，下课刚好看完。 居然就被我瞄到某个角落里的这本书，简介比豆瓣上的详细，对我来说就像夏日惊雷，情节也太夸张太彪悍了（我还没有哥特小说的概念）。...
评分故事好像是在说信奉主的人时时刻刻也被魔鬼盯着 一个引诱一切能引诱的，一个救赎一切能被救赎的 能被救赎的从一开始就不会被引诱 而能被引诱的从一开始就毫无希望 所以说活着 要么毫无信仰 要么毫无希望
评分序言中译者认为作者对待安布罗西奥的纵欲和艾格尼丝的过错有失公平。但是我们应该看到的是艾格尼丝是因为爱情而一时犯错，成为修女本就违背她的意愿。而安布罗西奥则完全被欲望所驱使，她先是从玛蒂尔达得到欢愉，但是这却不是出自于爱情，因为他很快便厌恶了玛蒂尔达，而后对...

格调低 像童话 又没有教育意义 语言勉强能看
评分两条情节线脱离稍严重，人物过多有点让人混乱。不过语言流畅自然，一口气读下去不带喘，还算过瘾啦。

评分Too much plots that I can’t even identify which is the main plot and which is subplot......innocent women are tortured cruelly while men have so many opportunities to get away with punishment.
评分现在看来这本起码可读性强多了，尽管书中情节如今都被用烂了，但在当时应该还好
