On behalf of a postgrad, I'd like to ask you whether you've come
across (modern) German literary texts in which the Devil plays a
role. I don't mean texts in which the word 'devil' is used
metaphorically to vilify somebody but texts such as "Doktor Faustus"
or "Ahasver", in which we do have a satanic presence. Any ideas?
All reading references, also of course to secondary lit dealing with
"Teufeliaden", would be very welcome indeed.
THANKS!
Beate
