The last great novel of the Gothic age, The Monk (1796) tells the story of Ambrosio, a devout and pious priest and of his subsequent descent into the most depraved of sins and debauchery. The Gothic genre fell out of favour shortly after publication of The Monk and the book was ridiculed for its outlandish and salacious plot by the the time Jane Austen wrote her Northanger Abbey (1817).
