Abstract
Imagining Mass Dictatorships: The Individual and the Masses in Literature and Cinema sees twelve theorists and historians of fiction and non-fiction probe the literary subject of life in twentieth-century mass dictatorships. Generously defined, the ‘literary’ in this context covers a wide spectrum of narrative forms, ranging from the commercial television documentary to popular crime fiction, and from digitally restored amateur film on DVD to a Nobel Prize winning novel.
