Part of the influential Key Concepts in Political Science series, Political Myth is a rigorous academic work that argues for the central role myth plays in the organisation and legitimisation of political life. Henry Tudor presents a compelling theoretical framework, distinguishing political myth from mere propaganda or legend, and illustrates how societies construct and deploy narrative to justify power, revolution, and social order. Drawing on a rich range of historical and philosophical sources, the work details the structural logic of myth-making and its relationship to ideology, demonstrating that political myths are not simply falsehoods but purposeful stories that shape collective action. Authoritative in tone and precise in argument, it remains an essential reference for students of political theory, philosophy, and the social sciences.
