One of the defining novels of Gothic literature, The Monk follows Ambrosio, a respected religious figure whose ambition and desire lead him into corruption and supernatural danger. Filled with temptation, horror, forbidden knowledge, and moral conflict, the novel shocked readers when first published and helped establish many of the conventions of Gothic fiction.
