Westernness : A Meditation

Attribution
Alan Williamson
Publication Details
Book, University of Virginia Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Writing as a displaced easterner with significant western roots, Williamson looks at writers and poets such as Cather, Lawrence, Steinbeck, Jefferes, Silko, and Snyder, as well as artists such as the Yosemite painters, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Wayne Thiebaud, to show how, despite the inflated optimism of many western patriots, the work of these individuals relates to the anxieties suffered by their eastern predecessors. By revealing what he sees as the repetition of the evolution of American literature in the rise of western literature, Williamson provides us with a fresh vantage point from which we can appreciate western literature, art, and culture and simultaneously dismantle the literary war between East and West.

Thomas Moran’s West : Chromolithography, High Art, And Popular Taste

Attribution
Joni L. Kinsey
Publication Details
Book, University Press of Kansas, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Watercolor images of Yellowstone Park painted in the early 1870s by artist Thomas Moran shifted America’s gaze westward. Whereas previously published images of the West had been black-and-white engravings, Moran’s chromolithographs had the vivid beauty of high art but could be acquired by individuals who couldn’t afford originals. Both a visual feast and an authoritative treatise, Thomas Moran’s West gives us breath-taking images of unspoiled wilderness as it sheds new light on how artistic portrayals of the West contributed to our national identity.

Description
Acclaim for Doc Holliday “Splendid . His exhaustively researched and beautifully written Doc Holliday: The Life and Legend reveals a pathetically ill and tortured figure, but one of such intense loyalty to Wyatt Earp that it brought him limping to the O.K. Roberts manifested an interest in Doc Holliday at a very early age, and he has devoted these past thirty-odd years to serious and detailed research in the development and writing of Doc Holliday: The Life and Legend. The world knows Holliday as Doc Holliday. –Susan McKey Thomas, cousin of Doc Holliday and coauthor of In Search of the Hollidays (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
