Abstract

            The aim of this paper is to study V. Vinichaykul’s historical novel “Song Fang Khlong” using the New Historicism and ideology approach to analyze it. The results of the study show that the content of this novel reflects influences of two kinds of ideologies widespread at the time it was written: middle-class ideology and conservatism. The co-existence of these ideologies in the novel, not only reflects the interplay between ideologies when the time the novel was created, but also the nature of literature that is without unity. It is an open area for different concepts and ideologies to continuously strike each other.
