In the past twenty-five years many Native American writers have retold the traditional stories of powerful mythological women: Corn Woman, Changing Woman, Serpent Woman, and Thought Woman, who with her sisters created all life by thinking it into being. Within and in response to these evolving traditions, Leslie Marmon Silko takes from her own tradition, the Keres of Laguna, the Yellow Woman.

Reading the Virginian in the New West
ISBN: 9780803271043 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...
