Reviews
In the 12th century, Europe invented the Devil, whose mission is the temptation and damnation of humankind. In five highly readable essays, Muchembled (cultural history, Univ. of Paris) presents the multiple traditions that spawned the myth and its progress from the 12th century to our own. He describes how Satan took hold of the popular imagination and how women, in particular, were actively persecuted for presumably consorting with Satan. Later, he shows the transition from the literal belief in Satan to evil as the dark side of the human condition and explores issues like the Freudian interpretation, the rise of the horror story, trivialization, and parody. Lest the reader be unimpressed by mere verbiage, the author includes an amazing assortment of historical images: vivid color plates, as well as drawings, lithographs, Hollywood and French movie stills, cartoons, and comic books of devils, temptations, and satanic rituals. Many are quaint and some are humorous, but as a caution, some images will be considered offensive. That said, this book is recommended for libraries with strong collections in cultural anthropology and Western civilization. -Library Journal
