	Matthew Gregory Lewis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Matthew Gregory Lewis (July 9, 1775 - May 14, 1818) was an English novelist and dramatist, often referred to as "Monk" Lewis, because of the success of his Gothic novel, The Monk.
		Lewis published a second edition from which he removed what he thought were the objectionable passages, but the work regained much of its horrific character.
		A second visit to Jamaica was undertaken in 1817, in the hope of becoming more familiar with, and able to ameliorate, the condition of the slave population; the fatigues to which he exposed himself in the tropical climate brought on a fever which resulted in his death during the homeward voyage.

		He was educated for a diplomatic career at Westminster school and at Christ Church, Oxford, spending most of his vacations abroad in the study of modern languages; and in 794 he proceeded to the Hague as attach to the British embassy.
		Whatever its demerits, ethical or aesthetic, may have been, The Monk did not interfere with the reception of Lewis into the best English society; he was favorably noticed at court, and almost as soon as he came of age he obtained a seat in the House of Commons as member for Hindon, Wilts.
		By the death of his father he succeeded to a large fortune, and in 1815 embarked for the West Indies to visit his estates; in the course of this tour, which lasted four months, the Journal of a West Indian Proprietor, published posthumously in 1833, was written.

		Lewis however wrote in the early years of Romanticism, when the ideas of self-expression in art and the close connection between the artist's life and work were new and exciting.
		Matthew Lewis's place in the world was actually rather divided, between the world of duty and responsibility represented by his father and the more unstable, yet more artistic, world associated with his mother.
		Though Lewis condemned the Slave Trade and approved of its abolition in Britain in 1807, he did not believe in the emancipation of those already enslaved, but when he visited his estates in 1816 he instituted a number of reforms aimed at improving the lives of his slaves.
