AUTHOR
SUMMARY
A fascinating contribution to the scholarship of both political science and literature, this book explores eight major genres of contemporary popular fiction generally assumed to be essentially devoid of political content--children's novels, Westerns, middle-class fiction, historical novels, small-town Americana, sports novels, American war fiction, and science fiction. By uncovering the often covert mythical themes and cultural symbols hidden in the plot formulas of these works--many of them bestsellers--the essays illustrate the debt of mass-market authors to cultural and political traditions that reach back to the origins of the American Republic.Ernest J. Yanarella is the author of 'Political Mythology and Popular Fiction: (Contributions in Political Science)', published 1988 under ISBN 9780313259760 and ISBN 0313259763.
