8vo. ix, [5], 233, [1] pp. Index; small blue sticker on title. Quarter black gilt-stamped cloth, magenta boards, dust jacket. Very good. "It was Defoe's conviction, a reflection of his century, that the supernatural permeates the natural life, and that God in His wisdom tries to guide and lead man along certain paths, but that the Devil also attempts to assail and seduce him. Baine shows how Defoe makes serious use of angelic communion, which we now call extrasensory perception, and 'angelic converse' between the visible and the invisible worlds. . . . Mr. Baine shows how Defoe characteristically uses the supernatural in his works. In an addendum the author also studies some works of questionable authorship that are often assigned to the Defoe canon." [jacket]. Baine was a professor at the University of Georgia and president of the Society of University Professors. Dust jacket present.
