reception, cultural responses and historical context does full
justice to the profound intertextuality of The Monk." - Angela
Wright, University of Sheffield

imagine how the informative, witty introduction could be bettered,
and the very helpful appendices will send readers in all the right
directions." - Ian Balfour, York University, Toronto
