Satanism & the Left-Hand Path

The Romantic Agony

by Mario Praz · Angus Davidson (trans.)

A classic study, first published in Italian in 1930, of the erotic, morbid and diabolic themes of Romantic and Decadent literature. Its chapters on the Byronic hero, the fatal woman and the 'metamorphoses of Satan' remain a starting point for the cultural history of the literary Devil.
