商品簡介
The author analyzes five American political novels from within the theoretical framework advanced by Northrop Frye's "Four Forms of Fiction." He argues that the concept of power, operating through ideology, structure, process, and personality and character, should be seen as the central force necessary for serious political function. The novels analyzed (in separate chapters) are Henry Adams' Democracy , Edwin O'Connor The Last Hurrah , Gore Vidal's Lincoln , Allen Drury's Advise and Consent , and Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men .
