"As writers in each new generation have embraced DeVoto's challenge, they have drawn on an increasingly large pool of images that have already been created to describe both Mormons and Mormonism. Works of literature are always saturated with allusions to other works of literature. Thus, the plots, characters, concerns, and metaphors of each generation become part of what future writers use and future readers come to expect. Some of these images are drawn from reputable historical sources while others come from works designed either to proselytize for, or to propagandize against, the Latter-day Saints. [From the text]
