The Political History of the Devil

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Irreverent and ironic, The Political History of the Devil is a satire that examines the evolution of evil and the rise of the historical force known as "the devil." An overview of satanic influences on eighteenth-century life follows, focusing on monarchs and tyrants as well as common folk. Defoe supports his arguments not only with extensive quotes from scripture but also with citations from other sources, including Milton's "Paradise Lost."
