Description: Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt London and New York: John Lane The Bodley Head 1899 First Edition Slim octavo, viii, 52 pages, publisher's original tan cloth covered boards. Ex-library with some of the typical markings, large loss to spine, hinges cracked and fraying, some discoloration, else in good condition. “Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery” by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt is a thought-provoking poetic work that reimagines the traditional Christian narrative of Satan. In this dramatic monologue, Blunt allows Satan to present his defense before God and the angels, challenging the conventional perception of him as the embodiment of evil. Satan argues that his rebellion was not an act of malice, but rather a quest for freedom and justice, misunderstood by the divine hierarchy. Through this imaginative retelling, Blunt explores complex themes such as redemption, free will, and the nature of divine authority, offering a satirical yet reflective critique of Victorian religious and moral assumptions. The poem serves as a unique exploration of the blurred lines between good and evil, inviting readers to reconsider established beliefs about morality and the divine.
