This book explores the retelling of the life of Moses in three 20th-century American narratives:Moses in Red, by Lincoln Steffens;Moses, Man of the Mountain, by Zora Neale Hurston; and Cecil B. DeMille's film,The Ten Commandments. Wright's analysis reveals that the figure of Moses has strong currency in American culture at many levels.
