Often referred to as the "Dean of Western Writers" (a title which he didn't care for), Stegner enjoyed a successful and prolific career, working at Stanford University and winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1972 for his novel Angle of Repose. In this manuscript, Matthew Stewart explores Stegner's fiction, essays, as well as the countless letters he received from fans and fellow intellectuals, to as Stewart puts it, "defend, clarify, and mourn" Stegner's "geography of hope." Stewart's study is as much about place as it is about Stegner, as it takes up what it means to be part of communities like southern California or the American West, and how Stegner's connections to and ideas about these places changed over time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $g 5. $t Growing Old in the New West. $g 2. $t Village Democracy -- $g 3. $t Community, and Its Consequences -- $g 4. $t The Amputated Present -- $g 5. $t Growing Old in the New West. 600 10 $a Stegner, Wallace, $d 1909-1993 $x Criticism and interpretation. 651 0 $a California $x In literature. 651 0 $a West (U.S.) $x In literature. 651 6 $a Californie $x Dans la littérature. 600 17 $a Stegner, Wallace, $d 1909-1993. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754578 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 651 7 $a California. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204928 651 7 $a West United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243255 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stewart, Matthew D, 1982- $t Most beautiful place on Earth. $d Salt Lake City : The University of Utah Press, [2022] $z 9781647690571 $w (OCoLC)1269411652 $w (OCoLC)1269411652 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20221203065731.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=878B1B8C72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
