Autorenporträt

Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775-1818) was a British novelist, playwright, and politician, best known for his early contributions to Gothic literature. He published The Monk at the age of 19, scandalizing Victorian society with its bold themes and transgressive imagery. Nicknamed "Monk" Lewis due to the success -and controversy- of his debut novel, he also wrote plays and traveled extensively across Europe and the West Indies. His style blends the macabre, the supernatural, and the psychological, leaving a significant mark on the development of Gothic horror.
