Information AboutThe Political History Of The Devil |

This work sounds like a joke or satire. But the general scholarly opinion is that Defoe really did think of the Devil as a participant in world history. He spends some time discussing Milton's '' Paradise Lost '' and explaining why he considers it inaccurate. His view is 18th century Presbyterian - he blaims the Devil for the Crusades and sees him as close to Europe's Catholic powers. EXTERNAL LINKS
