Matthew Gregory Lewis est un romancier et dramaturge anglais, souvent désigné sous le nom du « moine » Lewis, en raison du succès de son roman gothique, Le Moine (The Monk) en 1796.
Il étudie, en vue d”une carrière diplomatique, à Westminster School et à Christ Church, à Oxford, passant la plupart de ses vacances à l”étranger dans l”étude des langues modernes.
l obtient immédiatement un grand succès, mais certains passages sont d”une telle nature qu”un an après, le livre fait l”objet d”une injonction de restriction à la vente.
Lewis publie une deuxième édition dont il a retranché tous les passages jugés répréhensibles, ce qui n”enlève rien au caractère terrifiant de l”ouvrage.
Le Moine n”empêche pas Lewis d”être introduit dans la meilleure société ; il est favorablement remarqué à la cour, et, dès qu”il a l”âge requis pour briguer un mandat, il se fait élire député d”Hindon, dans le Wiltshire, à la Chambre des Communes.
Après quelques années – de 1796 à 1812- durant lesquelles il n”intervient jamais à la Chambre, il se retire finalement de la carrière parlementaire.
En 1812, il hérite d”une fortune et de grandes propriétés en Jamaïque, dans lesquelles travaillent 500 esclaves.
Il entreprend un voyage vers la Jamaïque en 1817, dans l”espoir de se familiariser avec la condition des esclaves et trouver le moyen de l”améliorer.
Épuisé, en plein climat tropical, il contracte une fièvre qui conduit à sa mort, pendant le voyage du retour.
