Abstract
The main purpose of this dissertation is to conduct a comparative study of selected prison narratives by Jeffrey Archer and Stephen King in the light of the Foucauldian prison approach. The dissertation investigates the peculiar role of the Foucauldian prison approach in tackling the thorny issues predominating in British and American societies through a thorough examination of Foucault’s inspirational book Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison. The writers under study apply the Foucauldian approach of power and punishment and elaborate on how prison institutions employ diverse means of corporal and disciplinary punishments to keep control over prisoners and suppress their resistant ideologies.
