| adam_text | Satan
is not only a theological concept, but also a literary construct. Facing the Fiend
places the character within a well-defined literary tradition. Satan is established as a
highly ambiguous figure, who plays a central narrative role in a wide variety of texts.
Acknowledging that the character of the devil is inherently probleinatic, Eva
Marta
Baillie deftly argues that the Satan of the Christian faith can be best understood
phenomenologically
—
through his roles and functions in stories. The author
goes on to construct a detailed and wide-ranging picture of Satan s depictions in
literature. Her discourse similarly touches upon wider issues of evil, and how it too
is best understood in a literary context.
Facing the Fiend offers an intriguing insight into the cultural representations of
Satan, making for a thought-provoking and engaging read. The comprehensive
study will appeal to those with an academic interest in the relationship between
theology and literature, as well as to the general reader curious about the portrayal
of religion in works of fiction.
Uniquely well placed to scour through material in several European languages,
Baillie has produced a gripping exploration of Satarf
—
liar,
corrupter,
and
adversary, his relatives, doubles, and human counterparts in all their ambiguity
—
in a splendid range of narratives. Fascinating and unnerving reading!

Through the pages of literature Satan wanders as a character beyond
redemption. Never more so than in the blood-soaked fiction of our own time,
Satan lives through the lives of others
—
a fearful presence brought to our
attention
