Book Description

Main-Travelled Roads contains eleven stories in this expanded and revised 1922 edition of an undisputed American classic. "Under the Lion's Paw" shows an honest, hard-working farmer victimized by a greedy landlord. Equally powerful is the semi-autobiographical "Up the Coolly," concerning a successful son who returns from the East to find his mother and brother trapped on a poor farm, defeated in spite of their best efforts. "Mrs. Ripley's Trip" is a tender story of an elderly couple settled in their frugal country ways, with the wife determined to realize her dream of revisiting childhood scenes.
Although Garland paints no pretty pictures, he offers exhilarating moments in the lives of these farm people and never ignores the strength of individual will.
William Dean Howells's introduction to the 1922 edition has been retained.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
This is a great book from 2 angles: first, it's a great coming-of-age story. Second, as a reader in 2007, it's a wonderful window into the world of 1870-1900s America which was not so long ago, but worlds away.

The language is a little formal and flowery, which is funny in light of the fact that Garland broke ground in American literary circles as a gritty "realist" writer. But even that serves to draw a more complete picture of the era.

5-0 out of 5 stars American Gothic
It is exciting to stumble upon this classic work and to ascertain it is absolutely readable and fresh.This work is constantly cited in support of regional factors constituting part of the experience of American writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.In 1863 Garland's father made the last payment on the mortgage on his farm and that same day he enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War.

The father was born in Maine.The family moved west via the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes, landing in Milwaukee.The children were told stories of the war and of the prairies of Wisconsin.The farm was near the LaCrosse River in western Wisconsin.

The author's grandfather was an Adventist, believing in the second coming.The McClintocks, maternal relatives, were farmers.The author's Grandfather Garland was a carpenter.Hamlin received his first literary instruction from his paternal, New England, grandfather.

To his father change was alluring.The father was eager to sell the farm in 1868 and push away onward to Iowa.The new farm was right on the edge of Looking Glass Prairie.When the family moved in February the children whined and the mother conveyed worry.His mother was in terror of the ice.At ten Hamlin was plowing at the family's third farm, located in Mitchell County near the Minnesota line.The name of the town was Osage.The schoolhouse was the center of social life on the bare prairie.The family rented land for their crops and broke sod and built a homestead on their new land.In addition to prairie there were hazel thickets.The curriculum pursued in the school was set forth in the McGuffey Readers.A singing school was started in Osage.Social changes were in progress.There were no more quilting bees and barn raisings.The women visited less often.Singing was confined to hymn tunes.

Garland tries to dispel the merry yeoman fantasy.The cowyard smelled of manure.Most farming duties require the lapse of years to seem beautiful.Haying was a season of charm.The author recalls buying his first deck of cards.

Growing up in the West were organizations called the Patrons of Husbandry, the Grange.The Lyceum took the place of the singing schools.Amusements had changed.The father was asked to become the official grain buyer for the country.He was to take charge of the new elevator in Osage.The family changed from farm to village, renting a house on the edge of town.

The family returned to the farm after a year. The wheat harvest was in jeopardy from the chinch bug.Hamlin went to Cedar Valley Seminary for two years.Grain buying had declined with grain growing and the border was moving.Many of the settlers were going to Dakota.

Hamlin and his brother Franklin went to Boston and various places on the East Coast.Broadway in New York seemed to be an abnormal congestion of human souls.Later Hamlin took a job being a school teacher in the Midwest.He was persuaded to go to Boston to study literature and found himself in a school for oratory, and with the passage of time, a teacher of literature himself.Returning West after seven years he saw that every house had its stamp of solid strugge.As to pioneering, the free land was gone.Garland was excited to meet William Dean Howells and to be considered by him a fellow writer.

5-0 out of 5 stars Love of the Land
This is easily in my top ten list of books.Wonderful account of growing up in the upper Midwest after the War Between the States.Hamlin Garland writes with a great sense of place and a love of the land. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description

Hamlin Garland, a Pulitzer Prize-winner and author of more than forty books, was a central figure in American literary life for half a century. He was intimately involved with many of the major literary, social, and artistic movements in American culture, and his extensive correspondence with the intellectual leaders of American culture was almost unparalleled in scope.

This volume brings together a rich, representative sample of Garland’s letters. They are addressed to an impressive roster of individuals: Samuel Clemens, William Dean Howells, Walt Whitman, Zona Gale, Theodore Roosevelt, Van Wyck Brooks, Howard Mumford Jones, Brander Matthews, Stephen Crane, George Washington Cable, and many others. The letters touch on an equally broad range of subjects, from the U.S. government’s reprehensible treatment of Native Americans to environmental issues to the major literary figures and controversies of Garland’s day.



Frank, opinionated, and wide-ranging, Garland’s letters provide a valuable and entertaining portrait of American cultural and intellectual life in the years between 1890 and 1940.

Editorial Review

Book Description

American Naturalism and the Jews examines the unabashed anti-Semitism of five notable American naturalist novelists otherwise known for their progressive social values. Hamlin Garland, Frank Norris, and Theodore Dreiser all pushed for social improvements for the poor and oppressed, while Edith Wharton and Willa Cather both advanced the public status of women. But they all also expressed strong prejudices against the Jewish race and faith throughout their fiction, essays, letters, and other writings, producing a contradiction in American literary history that has stymied scholars and, until now, gone largely unexamined. In this breakthrough study, Donald Pizer confronts this disconcerting strain of anti-Semitism pervading American letters and culture, illustrating how easily prejudice can coexist with even the most progressive ideals.



Pizer shows how these writers' racist impulses represented more than just personal biases, but resonated with larger social and ideological movements within American culture. Anti-Semitic sentiment motivated such various movements as the western farmers' populist revolt and the East Coast patricians' revulsion against immigration, both of which Pizer discusses here. This antagonism toward Jews and other non-Anglo-Saxon ethnicities intersected not only with these authors' social reform agendas but also with their literary method of representing the overpowering forces of heredity, social or natural environment, and savage instinct.
