The Demagogue

The Demagogue: A Political Novel is a work of fiction written by David Ross Locke and first published in 1890. The novel tells the story of a charismatic and manipulative politician named John Harrington, who rises to power through his ability to sway public opinion and exploit the fears and prejudices of the masses. As Harrington's political career progresses, he becomes increasingly corrupt and power-hungry, leading to a series of scandals and betrayals that threaten to bring him down. Along the way, the novel explores themes of populism, corruption, and the dangers of demagoguery in a democratic society. The Demagogue is a thought-provoking and timely cautionary tale that remains relevant to contemporary politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
