A cultural history of the Devil in Europe by a leading French historian, translated from the French Une histoire du diable. Muchembled follows the Devil from the late medieval preaching and art that made him terrifying, through the witch-hunts, to his domestication in literature, film and advertising, arguing that changing images of Satan reflect changing ideas of the self and of social discipline.
