Reviews

'Using non-technical language 'The Fiction of Evil' expertly interweaves trenchant philosophical analysis with well-known literary works, bringing the analysis to life for those who come to the topic for the first time. A must read for all persons interested in the concept of evil or the philosophy of literature'. Stephen de Wijze, University of Manchester, UK
