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.
