During his lifetime E. L. Doctorow was a remarkable phenomenon
among contemporary American novelists. He was a serious writer who
was popular, a political writer who was a stylist, an original
writer who was highly eclectic and an historical writer who
invented the past. In this study, originally published in 1985,
Paul Levine follows Doctorow's progress as a novelist and traces
the development of certain themes that recur in his work including
the relationships between history and imagination, between high and
popular culture and between political content and radical style. He
also examines Doctorow's notion of the writer as witness and actor
and of writing as a subversive activity, two concerns which link
him with important writers in Europe and Latin America. The book
should provide a valuable and comprehensive coverage of his work to
date, including the films of Ragtime and The Book of Daniel.
