Art can be beautiful, but it can also be ugly. A sin, for instance, can be a test of an individual’s moral limits, and this sin can teach a person how to become more humane and make the world a better place through the acute use of justice, intelligence, science, and feelings to correct that sin. And in an age where pleasure became the only means to feed the curiosity of the soul, and where each move was a challenge, Oscar Wilde created Dorian Gray as the embodiment of these challenges. Oscar Wilde: The Aesthetic, the Angelic, the Satanic is a critical essay about the importance of the arts in modern society, and author Abdellah Ben Megdoul takes words and actions independently of their social and moral values and puts them one beside the other to build Dorian Gray’s innocence—and thus Wilde’s innocence. Is Dorian Gray really responsible for the actress’s agony and death? Is he responsible for the perversion and degeneracy? Was it really perversion and degeneracy? Or, like most us, is Gray simply a victim of his personal aspirations? This critical essay will try to separate Dorian from his sins. Once jailed, Wilde was denied even a pen to carry on doing what he loved most: writing. This is a sin in itself—the worst sin and crime that was committed against any individual to receive sentence.

According to the Bible, Eve was the first to heed Satan's advice to eat the forbidden fruit and thus responsible for all of humanity's subsequent miseries. The notion of woman as the Devil's accomplice is prominent throughout Christian history and has been used to legitimize the subordination of wives and daughters. In the nineteenth century, rebellious females performed counter-readings of this misogynist tradition. Lucifer was reconceptualized as a feminist liberator of womankind, and Eve became a heroine. In these reimaginings, Satan is an ally in the struggle against a tyrannical patriarchy supported by God the Father and his male priests. Per Faxneld shows how this Satanic feminism was expressed in a wide variety of nineteenth-century literary texts, autobiographies, pamphlets, newspaper articles, paintings, sculptures, and even artifacts of consumer culture like jewelry. He details how colorful figures like the suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, gender-bending Theosophist H. P. Blavatsky, author Aino Kallas, actress Sarah Bernhardt, anti-clerical witch enthusiast Matilda Joslyn Gage, decadent marchioness Luisa Casati, and the Luciferian lesbian poetess Renée Vivien embraced these reimaginings. By exploring the connections between esotericism, literature, art and the political realm, Satanic Feminism sheds new light on neglected aspects of the intellectual history of feminism, Satanism, and revisionary mythmaking.

Schuchard's critical study draws upon previously unpublished and uncollected materials in showing how Eliot's personal voice works through the sordid, the bawdy, the blasphemous, and the horrific to create a unique moral world and the only theory of moral criticism in English literature. The book also erodes conventional attitudes toward Eliot's intellectual and spiritual development, showing how early and consistently his classical and religious sensibility manifests itself in his poetry and criticism. The book examines his reading, his teaching, his bawdy poems, and his life-long attraction to music halls and other modes of popular culture to show the complex relation between intellectual biography and art.
