Beyond borders
the selected essays of Mary Austin
de Mary Austin · Publicada por primera vez en 1996
A well-known, popular, and prolific writer, Austin published thirty-three books and three plays and was closely associated with many important literary figures of her time, including H. G. Wells, George Bernard Shaw, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Jack London, and Willa Cather. Still best known today for her nature writing and southwestern cultural studies, Austin has been increasingly recognized for her work on feminist themes, including the play The Arrow Maker, the nonfiction The Young Woman Citizen, and the novels A Woman of Genius and No. 26 Jayne Street. Beyond Borders demonstrates that variety. In addition to her monographs, Austin also published her short fiction and essays in periodicals. In fact, like many a writer earning a living from her work, Austin wrote prolifically for the magazine market, producing during her career over two hundred individual pieces published in over sixty periodicals. In support of Austin's essays, Reuben J. Ellis provides an introduction that establishes a biographical and historical context for Austin's work. In addition, each individual Austin essay is prefaced by brief introductory remarks by the editor. A selected bibliography of Austin's essays is also included.
