'Literature is not innocent,' stated Georges Bataille in this extraordinary 1957
collection of essays, arguing that only by acknowledging its complicity with the
knowledge of evil can literature communicate fully and intensely. These literary
profiles of eight authors and their work, including Emily Brontë's Wuthering
Heights , Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and the writings of Sade, Kafka and
Sartre, explore subjects such as violence, eroticism, childhood, myth and
transgression, in a work of rich allusion and powerful argument.
