Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

Romantic Satanism

Myth and the Historical Moment in Blake, Shelley and Byron

by Peter A. Schock

A literary-historical study of how Blake, Shelley and Byron reworked Milton's Satan in response to the French Revolution and its aftermath. Schock reads the Romantic rebel angel as a political myth rather than a religious one, and his book is the standard account of the subject in English.
