For over 200 years, the American Western novel has chronicled much
of the American experience, with exemplaries found in the works of
James Fenimore Cooper, Bret Harte, Andy Adams, Jack Schaefer and
Larry McMurtry. Alongside the roguish figure of the cowboy, the
Western depicts the experiences of women and minorities as they
face the hardships and deprivations of the frontier. This text is
directed at the general, informed reader who is interested in
Western literature, history and culture. Exploring novels by
Western authors who have achieved a high level of acclaim, it is a
survey and homage to the frontier's lasting works, detailing both
the writers' lives and their fictional creations. The author traces
the development of the Western novel through biography, anecdote,
summary, analysis and informed criticism, revealing the struggles
and triumphs of the genre's authors, the changing standards of the
frontier story and the lasting effects of the region's magisterial
landscape.
