M. G. Lewis

Biography: Matthew Gregory Lewis (1775-1818) is often called Monk Lewis because of his wildly successful Gothic novel, The Monk (1796). Born in London and groomed for a political career, Lewis did become a member of Parliament, but spent most of his time and energy on his writing. Sometimes controversial for his graphic treatment of themes of depravity and immorality, Lewis wrote romances, tragedies, and plays. He spent later years in Jamaica working to help the slave population there.
