520    Confronting Evil: The Psychology of Secularization in 
       Modern French Literature holds that the concept of evil is
       central to the psychology of secularism. Drawing on 
       notions of secularization as a phenomenon of ambivalence 
       or dualism in which religion continues to exist alongside 
       secularity in exerting influence on modern French thought,
       author Scott M. Powers enlists psychoanalytic theory on 
       mourning and sublimation, the philosophical concept of the
       sublime, Charles Taylor's theory of religious and secular 
       "cross-pressures," and William James's psychology of 
       conversion to account for the survival of religious themes
       in Baudelaire, Zola, Huysmans, and Cľine. For Powers, 
       Baudelaire's prose poems, Zola's experimental novels, and 
       Huysmans's and Cľine's early narratives attempt to account
       for evil by redefining the traditionally religious concept
       along secular lines. However, when unmitigated by the 
       mechanisms of irony and sublimation, secular confrontation
       with the dark and seemingly absurd dimension of man leads 
       modern writers such as Huysmans and Cľine, paradoxically, 
       to embrace a religious or quasi-religious understanding of
       good and evil. In the end, Powers finds that how authors 
       cope with the reality of suffering and human wickedness 
       has a direct bearing on the ability to sustain a secular 
       vision.
