From the publisher

In this first general theory for the analysis of popular literary formulas, John G. Cawelti reveals the artistry that underlies the best in formulaic literature. Cawelti discusses such seemingly diverse works as Mario Puzo's The Godfather , Dorothy Sayers's The Nine Tailors , and Owen Wister's The Virginian in the light of his hypotheses about the cultural function of formula literature.
