The author examines the way in which writers exploring radical politics simultaneously explore radical literary possibilities and look at the various sorts of fictional modes they use-romance, utopian fable, discovered manuscript, imaginary book. He shows how all the writers under discussion experiment with non-realistic forms- sometimes in dialectical combination with realism as one of the poles of the novel’s structure, sometimes in rejection of realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilding has selected six such writers and examines some of their work in detail: Mark Twain, William Morris, Jack London, D.H. Lawrence, Arthur Koestler, and George Orwell. He has chosen works which he believes have been misunderstood and ignored by Left as well as Right. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of English literature and critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56288298959192,"sku":"9781032700595","price":36.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032700595.jpg?v=1771668053","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/political-fictions-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
