First published in book form in 1854 as L'Ensorcelée, Barbey d'Aurevilly's dark novel of love and witchcraft tells the story of a married woman falling under the spell of a strange, baleful priest. Set in the heart of 19th-century Normandy where roaming moorland shepherds, former Chouans and canny countryfolk experience the reality of Evil, its unusual style still proves entrancing. This fully annotated translation - the first one since 1928 – also provides extensive contextual information.
