35 outstanding Westerns, from James Frederic Remington to Rick Bass
The Western is one of the great genres of world literature - singularly American, but with a truly global readership.
Ever since James Fenimore Cooper transformed frontier yarns into a distinct literary form, the Western has followed two paths: one populist - Time magazine's American Morality Play - able to fit any political philosophy from red to redneck, with a sentimental attachment to the misfit; the other literary - eschewing heroism and debunking many of the myths of the West.
It can sometimes be difficult to draw a sure line between the two forms, but the best of both are represented in this excellent collection which includes stories by Willa Cather, Stephen Crane, Hamlin Garland, A. B. Guthrie, O. Henry, William Kittredge, Mari Sandoz, Leslie Marmon Silko and Wallace Stegner, among many others.
The Western, though a singularly American art form, is one of the great genres of world literature with a truly global readership. It is also durable despite being often unfairly maligned.
Ever since James Fenimore Cooper transformed frontier yarns into a distinct literary form, the Western has followed two paths: one populist - what Time magazine famously billed 'the American Morality Play' - capable of taking many points of view, from red to redneck, but always populist, with a sentimental attachment to the misfit; the other literary - eschewing heroism, debunking with unsettling candour many of the myths of the West.
It can sometimes be difficult to draw a sure line between the two forms, but both are represented in this outstanding collection which includes stories by Rick Bass, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Larry McMurtry, Mari Sandoz, Christopher Tilghman, and Mark Twain, among many others.
