The Fall of Lucifer or the Origin of Evil by E.T. Smets is a poem which typifies perfectly the concept of religious and philosophical freedom and a verse to rival even the the darkest works by Edgar Allen Poe.

Instead it became classed as a work of demonology and neglected by the poet societies of the time.

Shortly before its publication, the novel was the target of a major censorship case. In question were two scenes that appeared to mock the court system and its manner of prosecuting nationalists in the wake of the Carlsbad Decrees.
