Rudwin, a scholar of the Devil in literature, assembles tales from across Europe and America in which Satan bargains, marries, tempts and is outwitted: Machiavelli’s ‘Belphagor’, Washington Irving’s ‘The Devil and Tom Walker’, Gogol’s ‘St. John’s Eve’, Poe’s ‘Bon-Bon’ and more, each with the editor’s critical notes.
