5-0 out of 5 stars The author of THE VIRGINIAN
Owen Wister was born in Philadelphia into elite society, went to Harvard where he studied music and the law, travelled out West because of ill health, fell in love with Wyoming and began writing short stories with western themes. In 1902 he published THE VIRGINIAN, which was a huge success, selling over a million copies. Although he wrote many other books after that, including fiction, history, and biography, none came even close to the success of THE VIRGINIAN.

Basically he was a reactionary, despising progress, and a blatant racist (LADY BALTIMORE, his second best-know work of fiction, is rife with racist ideas). But he was friends with everyone from Teddy Roosevelt and Henry James to Hemingway. Payne's biography is a good one and will probably become definitive. Wister today is thought of as pretty much a one-shot wonder, associated totally and only with THE VIRGINIAN. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description

Although the origins of the western are as old as colonial westward expansion, it was Owen Wister’s novel The Virginian, published in 1902, that established most of the now-familiar conventions of the genre. On the heels of the classic western’s centennial, this collection of essays both re-examines the text of The Virginian and uses Wister’s novel as a lens for studying what the next century of western writing and reading will bring. The contributors address Wister’s life and travels, the novel’s influence on and handling of gender and race issues, and its illustrations and various retellings on stage, film, and television as points of departure for speculations about the “new West”—as indeed Wister himself does at the end of the novel.
The contributors reconsider the novel’s textual complexity and investigate The Virginian's role in American literary and cultural history. Together their essays represent a new western literary studies, comparable to the new western history.
