"Are we either good or bad, and do we really know the difference? Why do we want what
we cannot have, and even to be what we're not? Can we desire others without wanting
to possess them? Can we open to others and not risk possession ourselves? And where,
in these cases, do we draw the line? Ewan Fernie argues that the demonic tradition
in literature offers a key to our most agonised and intimate experiences. The Demonic
ranges across the breadth of Western culture, engaging with writers as central and
various as Luther, Shakespeare, Hegel, Dostoevsky, Melville and Mann. A powerful foreword
by Jonathan Dollimore brings out its implications as an intellectual and stylistic
breakthrough into new ways of writing criticism. Fernie unfolds an intense and personal
vision, not just of Western modernity, but of identity, morality and sex. As much
as it's concerned with the great works, this is a book about life"--Publisher's website
