A work of literary theory and cultural criticism, Literature and Propaganda argues that the boundary between artistic expression and political persuasion is far more permeable than commonly assumed. A. P. Foulkes presents a rigorous analytical framework for understanding how literature functions as a vehicle for ideological messaging, drawing on a range of texts across history and cultures. The book instructs readers in the mechanisms by which propaganda infiltrates narrative, poetry, and drama, often beneath the surface of ostensibly neutral storytelling. With an incisive academic tone, Foulkes illustrates that no literary work exists in a political vacuum, and that the act of reading itself is shaped by the propagandistic forces of its time. Part of Methuen's prestigious New Accents series, this volume remains an essential reference for students of literary theory, media studies, and political communication.
