The Demagog

By William Richard Hereford

Book Overview

The Demagog is a novel written by William Richard Hereford and published in 1909. The story follows the rise of a charismatic politician named John Harland, who uses his gift of persuasion to gain power and influence over the people of his community. As Harland's political career flourishes, he becomes increasingly corrupt and manipulative, using his position for personal gain and to further his own agenda. The novel explores themes of power, corruption, and the dangers of demagoguery, as well as the impact of political manipulation on society. Through the character of John Harland, Hereford offers a cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly following charismatic leaders and the need to remain vigilant against those who seek to exploit our fears and prejudices for their own gain. The Demagog is a thought-provoking and timely novel that remains relevant in today's political climate.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
