"The Devil in Britain and America" by John Ashton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the folklore and historical narratives surrounding the belief in the Devil, witchcraft, and demonology in both Britain and America, offering a localized examination of cases and events. With a focus on various anecdotal tales, it seeks to illuminate the cultural significance of the Devil's figure in societal beliefs and practices. The opening of the work introduces the author's critical perspective on existing literature regarding the Devil, asserting that many modern texts are unsatisfactory and repetitive. Ashton highlights his intent to provide a comprehensive and illustrated account through careful research into original sources, allowing him to present claims and cases related to witchcraft and demonic influences that have not been widely covered before. He also shares an intriguing anecdote about a supposed encounter with the Devil, setting the tone for an exploration of humanity's complex fears and beliefs regarding evil.
