I Married a Communist written by Philip Roth is not just a tragedy of a Jewish person harmed by the right-wing McCarthyism.On describing Ira's participation of the left-wing movements,Roth gives prominence to the relationship between the Liberal Left,the Progressive Party leading by Henry Wallace,and the presidential election of 1948,showing the entanglement between the liberal politics and the citizens'life of the 1940s and 1950s of America through Zuckerman's edification by his political enlightenment father.The novel manifests the efforts of early American Left after the war to prove their own legitimacy by inheriting the legacy of Thomas Paine and Abraham Lincoln,and to advertise Utopia through publicizing populism.Besides,it reveals the fictionality of Daniel Bell's myth of The End of Ideology.Roth's implicit position of The New Deal Liberalism is influenced by Arthur Schlesinger,Jr's idea of The Vital Center.
