Presenting the first interdisciplinary consideration of his
political thought, Updike and Politics: New Considerations
establishes a new scholarly foundation for assessing one of the
most recognized and significant American writers of the post-1945
period. This book brings together a diverse group of American and
international scholars, including contributors from Japan, India,
Israel, and Europe. Like Updike himself, the collection canvases a
wide range of topics, including Updike's too often overlooked
poetry and his single play. Its essays deal with not only political
themes such as the traditional aspects of power, rights, equality,
justice, or violence but also the more divisive elements in
Updike's work like race, gender, imperialism, hegemony, and
technology. Ultimately, the book reveals how Updike's immense body
of work illuminates the central political questions and problems
that troubled American culture during the second half of the
twentieth century as well as the opening decade of the new
millennium.
