The Gothic novel The New Monk (1798) offers a fascinating parody of the Gothic excesses in Lewis’s The Monk (1796), but The New Monk does not draw only on the Gothic tradition. Instead, the author of The New Monk uses common tropes of the anti-Methodist satire to adapt anti-Catholic elements of The Monk into an attack specifically targeted at the Methodist movement, which is personified in The New Monk in the character of Joshua Pentateuch.
