Irreverent and ironic, this 1726 satire by the author of Robinson Crusoe examines the evolution of evil and the rise of the historical force known as "the devil." Beginning with a survey of Satan''s origins, Defoe explores devilish influences on 18th-century monarchs, tyrants, and ordinary "beaus, beauties, wits, and fools."
