Romantic Satanism Myth and the Historical Moment in Blake, Shelley and Byron

'The opening chapter provides an excellent foundation for the rest of the book which provides detailed, intelligent and illuminating readings of the Satanic texts of Blake, Shelly and Byron...Schock's contextualizing approach enables him to show the extent to which each of the studied poets shared their conceptions of Satan with other writers and artists...Illuminating moments of textual criticiam can be found throughout Romantic Satanism , making it a pleasure to read and a book that can be recommended to all students and scholars of Romantic Poetry, as well as to those who are already of the devil's party.' - Simon Bainbridge, Lancaster University, Romanticism
