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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
