Download or read book Mary Austin and the American West written by Susan Goodman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-01-07 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Austin (1868-1934)—eccentric, independent, and unstoppable—was twenty years old when her mother moved the family west. Austin's first look at her new home, glimpsed from California's Tejon Pass, reset the course of her life, "changed her horizons and marked the beginning of her understanding, not only about who she was, but where she needed to be." At a time when Frederick Jackson Turner had announced the closing of the frontier, Mary Austin became the voice of the American West. In 1903, she published her first book, The Land of Little Rain, a wholly original look at the West's desert and its ethnically diverse peoples. Defined in a sense by the places she lived, Austin also defined the places themselves, whether Bishop, in the Sierra Nevada, Carmel, with its itinerant community of western writers, or Santa Fe, where she lived the last ten years of her life. By the time of her death in 1934, Austin had published over thirty books and counted as friends the leading literary and artistic lights of her day. In this rich new biography, Susan Goodman and Carl Dawson explore Austin's life and achievement with unprecedented resonance, depth, and understanding. By focusing on one extraordinary woman's life, Mary Austin and the American West tells the larger story of the emerging importance of California and the Southwest to the American consciousness.
Download or read book One smoke Stories written by Mary Austin and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retold in the Evocative language of a true enthusiast of the Southwest, One-Smoke Stories is Mary Austin's compilation of tales from Native American, Spanish colonial, mestizo, and European American peoples of the Southwest. Through folktales, animal tales, and other genres of popular lore, Austin creates a primer of early-twentieth-century Southwestern cultures. Many stories offer political critiques of intercultural conflicts such as the homesteader's conquest of nature, the assimilation policies of Christian missionaries, and the abuses of colonial government. Others celebrate the multicultural Southwest by representing the spirituality, humor, love, loyalty, and sense of community among the Southwest's diverse peoples. Originally published in 1934, One-Smoke Stories is one of several early-twentieth-century works -- like Charles W. Chesnutt's The Conjure Woman, Mourning Dove's Cogewea, the Half-Blood, and Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God -- that bridged the oral and literary realms by intertwining folklore and fiction. Introduced by Noreen Groover Lape, this new edition of One-Smoke Stories raises timely questions about the permeability of cultural borders. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Road to the Spring written by James Perrin Warren and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Road to the Spring is the first book publication of Mary Austin’s (1868–1934) poems. Best known for her prose book The Land of Little Rain (1903), Austin was in fact a poet from the beginning of her career to the end, even though she never published a volume dedicated to her own original poetry. Instead, Austin’s work came to light in collections of poetry and in prestigious journals such as Poetry, the Nation, the Forum, Harper’s, and Saturday Review of Literature, among many others. The Road to the Spring contains more than 200 poems, most of which can only be found in out-of-print books, magazines, and periodicals, and her unpublished manuscripts archived at the Huntington Library. This singular publication includes her original work, poems she claimed to have written with her grammar school pupils at the end of the nineteenth century, and her translations and "re-expressions" of Native American songs, which often diverge greatly from any other known sources. Warren includes an introduction, laying out Austin’s place in American literature and situating her writings in feminist, environmentalist, regionalist, and Native American contexts. He also includes notes for those new to Austin’s work, glossing Native terms, geographical names, and the ethnological sources of the Native songs she re-creates.
