Matthew Scully’s Democratic Anarchy is a fascinating and provocative exploration of American literature in relation to democratic politics. It joins a wave of recent scholarship examining that subject (American Literary History’s 2023 special issue on “Democracy and the Novel in the US,” edited by Rachel Smith and Gordon Hutner, is one example among many) and undoubtedly motivated by current widespread concerns about threats to democracy in the US and globally.
