Claims of Identity is a book of essays discussing relationships
between archetypes and identities. Drawing on history, timeless
tropes, and comparative literature, this book explores the
activities of identification in a variety of ways, adding
significance to representations of outsiders and the marginalized
in order to appreciate authors and cultures with a view toward
philosophy. A thematic treatise included in this volume -- "Claims
of Identity in Bret Harte's Gabriel Conroy" -- argues that identity
is claimed rather than inherently bestowed, and that this is
contributive to California identity. The treatise also discusses
Bret Harte, the original California author. Gabriel Conroy, Bret
Harte's only long novel, published in 1875, tells a fiction of who
"owns" California, symbolized as a silver mine in the Sierras.
Various imposters are implicated. The result is a sweeping
adventure that typifies Californian identity to this day, and
compliments the understanding of additional topics.
