Abstract:
One of the most shocking Gothic novels was written by Matthew Gregory Lewis in 1796. His Gothic novel The Monk contains all the typical Gothic elements such as a ruined castle, aggressive villain, women in distress, the atmosphere of terror and horror and a lot more. This article analyses and compares to what extent the Gothic elements of the late 18th century survived in the contemporary detective story The Ice House (1993) written by Minette Walters and how these elements have changed.

Abstract:
The Monk de Matthew Lewis y La Regenta de “Clarín” comparten gran cantidad de similitudes. Ambas novelas pertenecen a un contexto de fin de siglo –aunque sean siglos diferentes–, y muestran una sensibilidad semejante a la hora de abordar temas como la religión, o el tratamiento de la figura del sacerdote. Este ensayo tiene como objetivo resaltar y analizar algunos de los rasgos comunes centrándose especialmente en el tema tópico del sacerdote enamorado como personaje nuclear en ambas novelas. The Monk sería un antecedente temático importante de La Regenta –que no necesariamente una fuente intertextual para su elaboración–. La repetición de situaciones y temas, como también sucede en El crimen del padre Amaro, nos ayudará a trazar una línea argumental común situando estas obras dentro de un marco general que va evolucionando –o no– a lo largo de la historia de la literatura. Matthew Lewis’s The Monk and Clarín’s La Regenta share a great deal of similarities. Both novels belong to a context of end of the century –although theirs are different fin-de-siècles–, and show a common sensibility at dealing with topics such as religion, or the treatment of the figure of the priest. This essay aims to highlight and analyze some of those shares features, especially centring on the topic theme of the priest in love as the nuclear character in both novels. The Monk may be said to be an important thematic antecedent for La Regenta –but not necessarily an intertextual source in its elaboration–. The repetition of situations and themes, as it also happens in El crimen del padre Amaro, will help us draw a common argumentative line, placing these works in a general frame that evolves –or not– throughout the history of literature.

Abstract:
Abstract This essay focuses on Matthew “Monk” Lewis’ poem “The Isle of Devils,” which appears in his Journal of a West India Proprietor. The poem relates the story of a shipwrecked woman, Irza, who finds herself at the mercy of a “Fiend” on an unnamed island that lies somewhere off the coast of Africa. With an analysis of the splitting of binaries such as colonizer/colonized, fertility/barrenness, mothering/murder, and poison/antidote/pharmakon contained in the poem, this essay investigates the dynamics of colonization. I discuss miscegenation and hybridity in connection with the Fiend and Irza’s children, who perish at the hands of the father following the mother’s abandonment of her family, and in the context of Lewis’ Journal. By way of a Derridean approach, the seemingly contradictory action of healing/harming in the poem gives way to a reading of the Fiend and Irza as equally to blame for the bloody demise of their island family, and one can call into question who—and what—is “monstrous.”

Abstract:
Desire is a feeling which gives different shades and hues to a human being’s personality. It transforms him either as good or bad depending upon how much can a person cope up with his or her feelings. Mathew Lewis’s Gothic novel or rather a thriller ‘The Monk’ is a blend of desire with the narrative structure which has been appreciated by both the readers and the critic regarding the skilful handling of the theme by the author. This has been seconded by Theodore, the personal servant of the protagonist, Raymond in the following lines: “Authorship is a mania to conquer which no reasons are sufficiently strong; and you might as easily persuade me not to love, as I persuade you not to write.” [Lewis 204.]

Abstract:
In his work on retranslation, Antoine Berman is probably the theorist who came closest to reflecting on back-translation. This article offers interpretations of two of his premises in ‘La retraduction comme espace de traduction’: that all translations are impaired by forces of non-translation and that this phenomenon is attenuated by retranslation. It is partly to investigate these hypotheses that Berman developed the concept of ‘défaillance’. The article traces the evolution of Berman's notion before demonstrating how the study of ‘défaillances’ across translative layers can be enlightening, by analysing three scenes in Matthew Gregory Lewis’ gothic novel The Monk (1796), Antonin Artaud's French translation (1931), and John Phillips’ back-translation (2003). It argues that the study of back-translations is valuable retrospectively, insofar as it magnifies elements which were underdeveloped in source-texts, and that, in so doing, it has the potential to transform our understanding of the larger trajectory of literary works.

Abstract:
Le leitmotif du prêtre qui se livre à la luxure et au meurtre atteint son summum dans le roman The Monk de Matthew-Gregory Lewis, où l’auteur explore les profondeurs de la dépravation sexuelle chez le moine Ambrosio. Les nombreuses similarités entre Ambrosio et Claude Frollo de Notre-Dame de Paris sont bien connues, car dans ces deux romans, l’auteur dépeint la « descente aux enfers » d’un homme d’église. Or nous tenons à démontrer que c’est par le biais d’un mélange du mythe faustien et du moine sadique du roman noir, que Notre-Dame de Paris complique de très loin la signification accordée traditionnellement entre les deux forces opposées du bien et du mal, surtout en ce qui concerne l’archidiacre Claude Frollo. Loin d’être un agent du mal comme Ambrosio, ou un érudit à la recherche de l’absolu comme Faust- Claude Frollo est plutôt une victime du destin, de l’anankè.

Fennell, Jarad. "REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CATHOLIC INQUISITION IN TWO EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY GOTHIC NOVELS: PUNISHMENT AND REHABILITATION IN MATTHEW LE." Master's thesis, University of Central Florida, 2007. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETD/id/4324.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how guilt and shame act as engines of social control in two Gothic narratives of the 1790s, how they tie into the terror and horror modes of the genre, and how they give rise to two distinct narrative models, one centered on punishment and the other on rehabilitation. The premise of the paper is that both Matthew G. Lewis's The Monk and Ann Radcliffe's The Italian harness radically different emotional responses, one that demands the punishment of the aberrant individual and the other that reveres the reformative power of domestic felicity. The purposes of both responses are to civilize readers and their respective representations of the Holy Office of the Inquisition are central to this process. I examine the role of the Inquisition in The Monk and contrast it with the depiction of the same institution in The Italian. Lewis's book subordinates the ecclesiastical world to the authority of the aristocracy and uses graphic scenes of torture to support conservative forms of social control based on shame. The Italian, on the other hand, depicted the Inquisition as a conspiratorial body that causes Radcliffe's protagonists, and by extension her readers, to question their complicity in oppressive systems of social control and look for alternative means to punishment. The result is a push toward rehabilitation that is socially progressive but questions the English Enlightenment's promotion of the carceral.

Abstract:
Gothic literature has a tradition of dealing with dark subjects, themes and motifs, as well as depicting fear in different shapes and forms. Dani Cavallaro describes dark fiction in terms of the "aesthetic of the unwelcome". The philosopher Edmund Burke separates the beautiful from the sublime and writes that everything that is capable of producing a terror of pain and death is a source of the sublime. In her essay "On the Supernatural in Poetry", Ann Radcliffe draws a clear line between the concepts of terror and horror and distinguished them as fundamentally different. In this essay, I define the terms horror and terror by following up the research surrounding Radcliffes statement. I begin with the concept of terror that Burke and other writers define as an elevated and positive feeling, then move on to account for the discussion surrounding Matthew Lewis' novel The Monk. It was considered pornographic, lewd and outright dangerous in its obscenity with blatant depictions of violence, gore and sex. Since Radcliffe and Lewis were contemporary I reckon that it is profitable to explore this tension further in my essay. From Radcliffe and Lewis I find out how the concepts of terror and horror have developed with time and how modern theorists conceive this distinction.

Abstract:
Dans les Alice et Peter Pan, Lewis Carroll et James Matthew Barrie reconstituent leur objet de désir, étudient le corps en métamorphose, le développement du monstrueux, jusqu’à l’altération des enveloppes corporelles de leurs enfants rêvés qui se fragmentent et créent des doubles. Les auteurs, mus par leur désir de soumission, imposent au lecteur une vision unique de leurs œuvres, manipulent le héros en tentant de diriger la progression de sa vie et en mettant inlassablement en scène sa mort. Alice et Peter s’évertuent à accéder à l’incorporel pour oublier matérialité et mortalité, et leurs créateurs les dotent de traits androgynes pour nier leur sexualité et retrouver le reflet d’eux-mêmes dans ces êtres. Leur corps apparaît malgré tout comme le siège de sensations charnelles et s’expose au regard d’un observateur amoureux et voyeur qui s’interroge sur la limite qu’il doit s’imposer dans son fantasme de fusion avec son objet de désir
In the Alices and Peter Pan, Lewis Carroll and James Matthew Barrie form their object of desire, study the body being metamorphosed, the development of monstrosity, up to the distortion of the frames of their dream children who fragment and create doubles. The authors, driven by their will to subject someone, force a unique vision of their works on the reader, manipulate the main protagonist by attempting to direct the progress of his life and to ceaselessly stage his death. Alice and Peter try to become incorporeal in order to forget materiality and mortality; and their creators endow them with androgynous features to deny their sexuality and to find in these beings their own reflection. Nevertheless, their bodies appear as the centre of carnal sensations and expose themselves to the gaze of a loving and voyeuristic observer who wonders about the limit he has to set himself while fantasizing about his fusion with his object of desire

Full text
Abstract:
The view that Gothic literature emerged as a reaction against the prominence of the Greek classics, and that, as a result, it bears no trace of their influence, is a commonplace in Gothic studies. This thesis re-examines this view, arguing that the Gothic and the Classical were not in opposition to one another, and that Greek tragic poetry and myth should be counted among the literary sources that inspired early Gothic writers. The discussion is organised in three parts. Part I focuses on evidence which suggests that the Gothic and the Hellenic were closely associated in the minds of several British literati both on a political and aesthetic level. As is shown, the coincidence of the Hellenic with the Gothic revival in the second half of the eighteenth century inspired them not only to trace common ground between the Greek and Gothic traditions, but also to look at Greek tragic poetry and myth through Gothic eyes, bringing to light an unruly, ‘Dionysian’ world that suited their taste. The particulars of this coincidence, which has not thus far been discussed in Gothic studies, as well as evidence which suggests that several early Gothic writers were influenced by Greek tragedy and myth, open up new avenues for research on the thematic and aesthetic heterogeneity of early Gothic literature. Parts II and III set out to explore this new ground and to support the main argument of this thesis by examining the influence of Greek tragic poetry and myth on the works of two early Gothic novelists and, in many ways, shapers of the genre, William Beckford and Matthew Gregory Lewis. Part II focuses on William Beckford’s Vathek and its indebtedness to Euripides’s Bacchae, and Part III on Matthew Gregory Lewis’s The Monk and its indebtedness to Sophocles’s Oedipus Tyrannus. As is discussed, Beckford and Lewis participated actively in both the Gothic and Hellenic revivals, producing highly imaginative works that blended material from the British and Greek literary traditions.

Abstract:
The emphasis on political continuity in the aftermath of the Glorious Revolution leads to a specifically Whig providentialism, examined in Chapter 3 through the work of Clara Reeve, Horace Walpole, and Matthew Lewis. In Clara Reeve’s The Old English Baron, the country Whig version, stressing links with the medieval past, unites with Newtonian theology in which God’s finger is at work in every ‘natural occurrence’ to render the supernatural revelatory of this providential care. Divine justice and historical inexorability, romance, and realism are conjoined. By contrast, the sceptical Horace Walpole, representative of the Walpolian Whig narrative of political rupture, questions Providence in The Castle of Otranto and The Mysterious Mother, and substitutes himself as quasi-divine author, whose originality lies in the grotesque mixture of realist and supernatural elements. Matthew Lewis essays an eschewal of Providential mechanisms in The Monk but here grotesque features such as the bleeding nun disclose an aporia which reveals the limit of libertine desire and a negative supernatural.

Full text
Abstract:
The fourth chapter of the book turns to Matthew Lewis, author of the scandalous 1796 novel The Monk. More than many of his contemporaries, Lewis was able to blend intricate and learned allusions to Greek and Roman literature into the popular frame of his Gothic texts. This chapter argues that he uses these allusions to give voice to particular anxieties: about the consequences of Gothic publishing and, particularly, about his own queer desires. The chapter begins by examining the translations in The Monk of poems of Horace and Anacreon, both explicitly homoerotic texts from antiquity. Second, it turns to The Love of Gain (1799), a free translation of a satire of Juvenal, which Lewis used as a covert means of defending his career as an author of Gothic texts. Finally, I turn to a translation of Goethe in Lewis’s ballad collection, Tales of Wonder (1800), and a classicizing parody of that translation in the accompanying volume, Tales of Terror (1801), both of which comment implicitly on Lewis’s own specific authorial and erotic anxieties. Rather than truly blending Gothic and classical, Lewis uses the erudite allusions to antiquity to open up a new channel of communication within popular works, giving voice to desires and fears that would otherwise have remained unsaid.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the context of the French Revolution and the spectacle of accelerated and mechanised decapitation and their joint influence on the Gothic imagination. The focus of the discussion is on stage representation, and the anxieties generated by attempts to represent insurrectionary violence in the 1790s in front of potentially volatile and unpredictable audiences. James Boaden’s dramatisation of Matthew Lewis’ The Monk is adapted (in part) to neutralise the representation of mob rule. Meanwhile, George Reynolds’ Bantry Bay, staged during a unique window of opportunity in 1797, attempts to re-imagine potential insurgents in loyalist terms. Paradoxically, the attempt to control the theatre through licensing had created larger venues than ever before, making audiences potentially more threatening.
