Old Nick Crossed the Mississippi: The Figure of the Devil in Late Cold War Era Novels of the American West by Michael Walonen

“…Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian (1985), on the other hand, attributes Mephistophelean attributes (among others) to its antagonist Judge Holden as a means of dramatizing how barbarity, destruction, and expenditure are inexorably intertwined with the values and goals of civilization, while Ishmael Reed’s Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down (1969) reconfigures and repurposes the devil figure, drawing on the cultural valences of pagan male fertility figures and the Africana traditions he elsewhere conceptualizes as “neo-hoodoo” to wage a counter-cultural attack upon the pillars of American and Western Christian society.…”

“The Road of War” and “The Path of Peace”: William Morris’s Representation of Violence by Eleonora Sasso

“…I will reflect on the conflict between the life instinct—Eros—and the death instinct—Thanatos—, and interpret the violence shown by Morrisean proper men of war as “an outpouring of innate aggressiveness”, one which introduces man’s failure of restraining his instinctual motives, reminding us that the principal task of civilization is to “defend us against nature”. Through the regression to a primitive level of personality, I suggest, Morris attempts to arouse a sense of rejection, in order to progress to the dream of order which News from Nowhere extols, with important political solutions which permit to live safely in an organizational manner with others.…”
