Description

Explore the deep connection between American mythology and the physical environment in this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines how the western landscape serves as a central theme in the writings of Cormac McCarthy and Wallace Stegner. It looks at the tension between frontier myths and the actual reality of a fragile western environment. The text investigates the complex nature of the American West as a gendered space. It addresses how the land has been viewed as a virgin territory for pioneers or as a masculine space where the feminine is often excluded. Readers will gain a better understanding of the spiritual, narrative, and symbolic roles that the landscape plays in American literature. This volume is part of the Routledge Transnational Perspectives on American Literature series. It provides a detailed look at the ideological and imaginative ways the West is represented in modern literary studies. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in how environment and myth shape American identity.
