The Harrowing of Hell

Jesus goes to Hell to save the souls of Adam, Eve and other pre-Christian figures in this brief, anonymous 13th-century work. Jeff S. Dailey directs his own translation into modern English. The piece is presented alongside two other works about the Devil: the 14th-century drama The Fall of the Angels and a 20th-century poem by Elliott Blaine, "The Soliloquy of Satan."
