Tracing the fascination in literature, philosophy, and theology with the irreducible presence of what may be called evil, or comedy, or the carnivalesque, this book surveys the parts played by the devil in the texts derived from the Faustus legend, looks at Marlowe and Shakespeare, Rabelais, Milton, Blake, Hoffmann, Baudelaire, Goethe, Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, and Mann, historically, speculatively, and from the standpoint of critical theory. It asks: Is there a single meaning to be assigned to the idea of the diabolical? What value lies in thinking diabolically? Is it still the definition of a good poet to be of the devil's party, as Blake argued? 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aLiterary Theory 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aLiterary History. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 676 $a809.9333547 700 $aTambling$b Jeremy$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0224091 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255246803321 996 $aHistories of the Devil$92515591 997 $aUNINA
