ALLARD, James. Robert. "Spectres, Spectators, Spectacles: Matthew Lewis's The Castle Spectre." Gothic Studies 3 (2001): 246-261. Scrutinizes the critical reputation of Lewis's Gothic drama and claims that it was the anticipation of horrid and sensational spectacle (such as the appearance of the Bleeding Nun) rather than spectacle itself that guaranteed the popularity and success of the play with audiences in 1797. "The play is marked by a distinct lack of spectacle," but "the delays, preventions, and moments of invulnerability that permeate all aspects continually serve to manipulate and frustrate the audience's expectations of a spectacle while, at the same time, perpetuating and heightening the desire for Gothic spectacle."

Ambrosio's self-destruction is not caused by revolt against the established order; indeed it may be said to happen because he does not revolt enough."

BLAKEMORE, Steven. "Matthew Lewis's Black Mass: Sexual, Religious Inversion in The Monk." Studies in the Novel 30:4 (1998): 521-539. Argues that Lewis "based the novel on the thesis that Catholic monasticism violated nature with its chastity vows, thereby producing deviant sexual practices." The text of The Monk "performed the linguistic equivalent of a Black Mass by inverting and subverting the traditional roles of religion and sex."

CAMPBELL, Ann. "Satire in The Monk: Exposure and Reformation." Romanticism on the Net, 8 (November, 1997). Traces and identifies the many satiric and parodic elements in The Monk. "In Lewis's world, satire contains the potential for the obliteration of corrupt institutions, but not for their gradual reformation.The pretense of didacticism covers the satirist's insatiable and irrational impulse to destroy what lies before him."

________. "Confessors and Penitents in M.G. Lewis's The Monk." Romanticism on the Net 8 (November, 1997). Comments on the function and interrelationship of confessors and penitents in The Monk. Applies ideas from Foucault"s History of Sexuality to confessional matters in the novel. "As if it were previewing a pointedly Gothic chapter in Foucault's lifelong study of discursive practices in the Western World, The Monk rehearses several tales of a human sexuality enthralled ' within an unrelenting system of confession.' "
COOK, Davidson. "Robert Burns Did Not Write ' The Hermit, ' " The Bookman 85 (1934): 402-403. Argues the case for Lewis's original authorship of the poem, "An Inscription in an Hermitage," which appears in the second edition of The Monk.

[The Monk and/is his double: when Artaud narrates Lewis]. On Artaud's translation of The Monk (1931) based on the translation of Léon de de Wailly (1840). "La traduction comme la pratique Arnaud devient un acte relevant de la tératologie. Le Moine de Lewis d'Arnaud et un double palimpsestueux; il s'inscrit dans l'histoire des exégèses de The Monk de Lewis; mait il doit se lire aussi comme un avant-goût voire un creuset du théâtre de la cruauté." [Translation such as that practiced by Arnaud becomes a relevant act of teratology (the natural history of monsters). Arnaud's Lewis's Monk is a double palimpsest; it inscribes itself in the history of exegeses of Lewis's Monk; but it also owes its reading to a true anticipation of a crucible of the theater of cruelty].

DOYLE, Barry. "Freud and the Schizoid in Ambrosio: Determining Desire in The Monk." Gothic Studies 2:1 (2000): 61-69. Discusses desire in The Monk by way of several "theories of desire" including "Oedipalized desire based on Freud's theory" and later theories such those of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1972). "The combining of Oedipus and anti-Oedipus is that 'uneasy relation' which offers a paradigm for reading Gothic identities, Gothic texts, and Gothic aesthetics." Also examines "some curious moments of verbally expressed desire connected with the eponymous character Ambrosio" and discovers that such moments "are resonant, confusing instances of desire that complicate the traditional psychoanalytic notion of desire based on a framework of lack."
DUHIG, Susan Caroline. "Romantic Pleasure, Gothic Pain, and Enlightenment Subjectivity." Dissertation Abstracts International, 54 (1994): 4448A-4449A (Cornell University). On the Marquis de Sade's Justine, Lewis's Monk, Wordsworth's Ruined Cottage, and De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater. These Gothic texts "elucidate the ways in which the eroticism and irrationality of the English Gothic are, paradoxically, caught up in an historical tendency to mechanize and rationalize pleasure." Particularly important in this respect is the Gothic's "sexualizing of Catholicism."

FERGUSON, Mary. "Ambrosio: or, the Monk" In Survey of Modern Fantasy Literature, Ed. Frank Magill. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Salem Press, 1983: I, 36-41.

All passionate desire in this book is really aroused, intensified, and answered by images more than objects or bodies, by signifiers (to use the Sausserean term) more often than signifieds or referents."

________. Monk Lewis: A Critical Biography. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2000. This balanced and insightful biography supersedes Louis Peck's biography of 1961. Macdonald gives credit to Peck's indispensable scholarship, but goes beyond Peck in the critical dimensions of the book. Macdonald also deals far more directly with Lewis's homosexuality and has brought new manuscript material to bear on his subject. Macdonald's biography is "organized to bring out the connections between various facets of Lewis's life and work that Peck's organization obscures." The picture of Lewis that emerges from the eight chapters is a personal and public full-length portrait with nothing hidden or insinuated. The eight chapters are: Part One: Personal Themes; 1. The Hard Fist of Hymen. 2. The Fruits of Single Error. 3. The West Indian. 4. The Magnet. Part Two: Political Variations; 5. Horribly Bit by the Rage of Writing: 1775-1795. 6. An Inundation of Ghosts: 1796-1812. 7. Converse with the Departed: 1812-1817. 8. The Isle of Devils: 1815-1818. Also has a chronology, very thorough primary and secondary bibliographies, endnotes, and index.

Considers such historical factors as "post-Revolutionary French anti-clerical pornography and British anti-Catholic genres from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, renewed campaigns of homosexual persecution in Britain and Northern Europe; and the relationship between the British Protestant state and homosexual persecution in the context of the campaign for Catholic Emancipation from the late 1770s."

Examines the common critical claim that Lewis's novel reacts deeply to the bloody events of the French Revolution. "Previous studies have connected The Monk and the French Revolution as well as that novel and anti-Catholic polemics. Pursued separately, these connections are unsatisfying: in 1794 when Lewis commenced The Monk, the Revolution was topical, but obvious correlations between it and the book seem slight; instances in The Monk of anti-Catholic prejudice are massive, but apparently far from topical."

WRIGHT, Julia M. "Lewis's 'Anaconda': Gothic Homonyms and Sympathetic Distinctions." Gothic Studies 3 (2001): 262-378. Reads Lewis's story from Romantic Tales as "an early instance of imperial Gothic." Themes such as "individual regression" and "invasion of civilization by the forces of barbarism" later evident in Conrad and Wells are already present in "The Anaconda." "A generation before the age of high capitalism and imperialism, Lewis's tale addresses the socioeconomic implicatons of colonial settlements."
