- Summary:
- In The Blue Guitar (the title alludes to a poem by Wallace Stevens), Nancy L. Schwartz offers a radically new understanding of representation. As she sees it, representatives should be - and, in the past, have been- more than mere delegates or trustees of individual desires and interests and the process of representation more than the appropriation of power and control.
