or opportune. There are other studies of evil, but Paulson's
is the most literary and the most wide-ranging."—Denis Donoghue,
author of The American Classics and Speaking of
Beauty
*Denis Donoghue*
"This informative journey through centuries of literature, mostly
British and American fiction, is the harvest of a distinguished
