| 520 | |a Fascination with the arcane is a driving force in this comprehensive survey of conspiracy fiction. The author traces the evolution of cults, orders, lodges, secret societies, and conspiracies through various literary manifestations - drama, romance, epic, novel, opera - down to the thrillers of the twenty-first century. This text considers Euripides's Bacchae, Andreae's Chymical Wedding, Mozart's The Magic Flute, and Eco's Foucault's Pendulum, among other seminal works. Mimicking the genre's quest-driven narrative arc, the reader searches for the significance of conspiracy fiction and is rewarded with the author's cogent reflections in the final chapter. After much investigation, the author reinforces Umberto Eco's notion that the most powerful secret, the magnetic center of conspiracy fiction, is in fact "a secret without content." | ||
