内容説明

Exploring the vast terrain covered in Continental European literature after the demise of orthodox pacts, Desire and the Devil highlights the conceptual dialectic of evil and its discontents, and cohesively traces a number of fundamental modern poetics of unorthodoxy (Goethe, Balzac, Flaubert, Bulgakov, Nerval). The book asks - and answers - the ultimate question as to what it means to give oneself over to Satan (Baudelaire) in today's post-systematic world. It also reveals the second-level epistemological shifts behind the entangled thematic peripeties of the pact with the devil since the Sturm-und-Drang's renewed interest in evil.
