The chapters explore demonic representations in the literary works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Dante Alighieri, Charles Baudelaire, John Milton, H.P. Lovecraft, and Cormac McCarthy, among others. The text examines other media such as the operas Orfeo and Erminia sul Giordano and the television shows Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and Mad Men. The Hermeneutics of Hell, featuring an international set of established and up-and-coming authors, masterfully examines the evolution of the devil from the Biblical accounts of the Middle Ages to the individualized presence of the modern world. . 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aEuropean literature$xRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aLiterature and technology 606 $aMass media and literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aLiterature and Technology 606 $aContemporary Literature 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xRenaissance, 1450-1600. 615 0$aLiterature and technology. 615 0$aMass media and literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aLiterature and Technology. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 676 $a809.933820216 702 $aThuswaldner$b Gregor$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRuss$b Daniel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255088403321 996 $aThe Hermeneutics of Hell$91910290 997 $aUNINA
