This edited collection contributes to the study of conspiracy
culture by analysing the relationship of literary forms to the
formation, reception, and transformation of conspiracy theories.
Conspiracy theories are narratives, and their narrative form
provides the structure within which their 'readers' situate
themselves when interpreting the world and its history. At the same
time, conspiracist interpretations of the world may then be
transmediated into works of literature and import popular discourse
into narrative structures. The suppression and disappearance of
books themselves may generate conspiracy theories and become
co-opted into political dissent. Additionally, literary criticism
itself is shown to adopt conspiracist modes of interpretation. By
examining conspiracy plots as literary plots, with narrative,
rhetorical, and symbolic characteristics, this volume is the first
systematic study of how conspiracy culture in American and European
history is the consequence of its interactions with literature.
This book will be of great interest to researchers of conspiracy
theories, literature, and literary criticism.
