The Individual Community and the Community of Individuals
The Individual Community and the Community of Individuals
This chapter examines the relationship between history, storytelling, and community as it is presented in some of Brown's later novels: Beside the Ocean of Time, Vinland, The Golden Bird and Time in a Red Coat. It shows that in each of these novels, Brown continuously points to the unified community as important to the establishment of the individual self. However, the chapter determines that a unified community is both problematic and impossible.
