Spear, Bruce. "American Political Morality in the Literature of the Vietnam Era," University of California, Santa Cruz, December 1991. Advisor: Michael S. Cowan/John H. Schaar (2, 12, 11)
I am concerned with a developmental conception of political cultures associated with the Vietnam era’s crisis of democratic liberalism in The New York Review of Books during the period 1964-67, the political essays and fiction of such writers as Graham Greene, Mary McCarthy, and Joan Didion, and such popular films as First Blood and Casualties of War. My analysis of the figurative language and rhetorical form of these literatures would discover, to paraphrase Alexis de Tocqueville, a new science of society for a new world.
