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.
