| Zusammenfassung: | Founded in 1868, the Overland Monthly was a San Francisco-based literary magazine whose mix of humor, pathos, and romantic nostalgia for a lost frontier was an immediate sensation on the East Coast. Due in part to a regional desire to attract settlers and financial investment, the essays and short fiction published in the Overland Monthly often portrayed the American West as a civilized evolution of, and not a savage regression from, eastern bourgeois modernity and democracy. Stories about the American West have for centuries been integral to the way we imagine freedom, the individual, and the possibility for alternate political realities. This book examines the shifting literary and narrative construction of liberal selfhood in California in the late nineteenth century through case studies of a number of western American writers who wrote for the Overland Monthly, including Noah Brooks, Ina Coolbrith, Bret Harte, Jack London, John Muir, and Frank Norris, among others. |

Overland monthly and the writing of the modern American West Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2013] ©2013 1 online resource (xiii, 301 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Print version record. Founded in 1868, the Overland Monthly was a San Francisco-based literary magazine whose mix of humor, pathos, and romantic nostalgia for a lost frontier was an immediate sensation on the East Coast. Due in part to a regional desire to attract settlers and financial investment, the essays and short fiction published in the Overland Monthly often portrayed the American West as a civilized evolution of, and not a savage regression from, eastern bourgeois modernity and democracy. Stories about the American West have for centuries been integral to the way we imagine freedom, the individual, and the possibility for alternate political realities. This book examines the shifting literary and narrative construction of liberal selfhood in California in the late nineteenth century through case studies of a number of western American writers who wrote for the Overland Monthly, including Noah Brooks, Ina Coolbrith, Bret Harte, Jack London, John Muir, and Frank Norris, among others. Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction : liberalism and the language of wilderness -- Theoria and liberal governmentality : travel in Bret Harte's Overland monthly -- Narrative and liberal selfhood : Noah Brooks and the aesthetics of history -- "With which it was my fortune to be affiliated" : social contingency in the life and poetry of Ina Coolbrith -- The limits of liberalism : Chinese, Indians, and the politics of cosmopolitanism in the West -- The greening of nineteenth-century liberalism : John Muir's wilderness and the discourse of civilization -- The brute's luck : liberal egalitarianism and the politics of literary naturalism -- Conclusion : the Overland group, luck, and the writing of the West.
