Lewis, M. G. ( Matthew Gregory Lewis) (1775–1818), is remembered as the author of The Monk (1796), a representative Gothic novel, from which his nickname ‘Monk’ Lewis was derived. Lewis was greatly influenced by German Romanticism, and wrote numerous dramas. His verses (of which ‘Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogine’, appears in The Monk) had some influence on Sir W. Scott's early poetry.
