Description
This is the first book-length collection of essays on Mary Austin's work that covers the range of her writing in varied genres. Austin is revealed as a writer wrestling with issues that continue to challenge us today, including water in the arid West; social and environmental justice as it relates to indigenous peoples, women, and the working class; and the consequences of rigidly hierarchical thinking for western lands and people.
Reviews / Votes
"In a combination of vibrant prose and inclusive commentary, Temple succeeds in conveying what the whole collection fast accomplishes: presenting the remarkable diversity of a larger-than-life figure in all her contradictions and complexity. . . . Exploring Lost Borders is an important addition to Austin studies and sets a high standard for forthcoming criticism." - Ann Merrill Ingram, Legacy, 2000More details
