Abstract

Within art, society culture, philosophy, literature and many other spheres, a constant issue being dealt with is that of sin.Alongside the established understanding of sin, discourse, poetry and novels have responded to sin variously, due to the blossoming of ideas. With human history being constantly punctuated by the notion of sin, assessing writers’ responses and exploration of the subject is the basis of this study. French, American and British literature’s responses to the notion of sin will be investigated through studies included in this volume. The objective is to analyse how the broad reaction and reassessment of sin has been intersected by multifarious constructs, such as redemption, the original sin and guilt.
