Concept information
Preferred term
political novel
Definition
- American literary critic and political activist Irving Howe defines the political novel as a novel in which the dominant element is either political ideas or a political milieu. Howe's pioneering study, published in 1957, still serves as a point of departure for studies of connections between politics and literature (although the first study to include the term political novel in its title was published by American scholar Morris Edmund Speare in 1924).
