An excellent place to start is “The Folktale” by Stith Thompson.
When I’ve applied it to Mr. Obama; his reconstructed biography,aspects of his campaign, and the timing of their introduction and withdrawal, much insight has been gained.
“The Irish Heroe Tales” also have some application to American politics as a consequence of the work of John Ford. Most relevant to this post would be a line or two from “Who Shot Liberty Valence”
