| Sumario: | "The Devil and the Victorians: Supernatural Evil in Nineteenth-Century English Culture" by Sarah Bartels is a historical study that explores the significant role of the Devil in Victorian English culture. Bartels argues against the common perception that the Devil was of minor cultural and theological relevance during this time period. The book is organized thematically, with chapters focusing on Victorian theology, folklore, the occult, popular culture, and literature/theater. While the book provides valuable insights and extensive research, there are some notable omissions, such as the lack of discussion on Charles Dickens and other Victorian authors. Overall, "The Devil and the Victorians" is a well-researched and worthwhile academic resource.
