The Fictional Republic: Horatio Alger and American Political Discourse
Nackenoff, Carol (Associate Professor of Political Science, Associate Professor of Political Science, Swarthmore College)
A reassessment of the Alger formula in historical context, especially the chords that these tales of hard work and virtue's rewards struck during the significant economic transformation of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; and an examination of the unusual persistence of the Alger myths in American culture.
