Book Synopsis Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery by : Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
Book excerpt: "Satan Absolved: A Victorian Mystery" is a poem by Wilfred Scawen Blunt, who raises important questions about the moral standards of the society of his time. The poem presents the dialogue between God, Angels, and the Devil, where they discuss the deeds of men. The main theme of the poem is the hypocrisy and all-acquiring greed of the society of Blunt's time, which is capable of "the destruction of beauty in the name of science, the destruction of happiness in the name of progress, the destruction of reverence in the name of religion."
