The Legend of Eugene Debs: Prophetic "Ethos" as Radical Argument.

Darsey, James

Quarterly Journal of Speech, v74 n4 p434-52 Nov 1988

Examines the legend Eugene Debs fostered, calling for a renewal of American virtue. Argues that a more sympathetic view of Debs' radicalism is achieved by looking at him against the Judeo-Christian tradition of Old Testament prophecy. (RAE)
