A Literary History of the American West
Author: Western Literature Association (U.S.)
Publisher: TCU Press
ISBN: 9780875650210
Category : American literature
Languages : en
Pages : 1408
Book Description
Literary histories, of course, do not have a reason for being unless there exists the literature itself. This volume, perhaps more than others of its kind, is an expression of appreciation for the talented and dedicated literary artists who ignored the odds, avoided temptations to write for popularity or prestige, and chose to write honestly about the American West, believing that experiences long knowns to be of historical importance are also experiences that need and deserve a literature of importance.

Reading Aridity in Western American Literature
Author: Jada Ach
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793622027
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
In literary and cinematic representations, deserts often betoken collapse and dystopia. Reading Aridity in Western American Literature offers readings of literature set in the American Southwest from ecocritical and new materialist perspectives. This book explores the diverse epistemologies, histories, relationships, futures, and possibilities that emerge from the representation of American deserts in fiction, film, and literary art, and traces the social, cultural, economic, and biotic narratives that foreground deserts, prompting us to reconsider new, provocative modes of human/nonhuman engagement in arid ecogeographies.
