- Description
- Explores the relationship between Alan Paton's response to ideology, which also reflects that of his religious convictions, and his conception of human identity in his novel 'Too late the phalarope', paying attention to some structures of marked syntax in the novel. Discusses the language he uses in the novel, thereby providing a textual and a contextual view of Paton's ideology and his resistance to the hegemonic ideology of his time.
