Recenzii
Highly readable....The book is full of surprises, it is constantly challenging....A fine performance.
[Starr] is bringing much to Western social and literary history.
One devil of a fine book, a book only a native Californian could write...about the Inner Life of California, the psychic landscape that emerges from the works and ways of her writers, both native and self-adopted. The result is a mature, well-proportioned and marvelously diverse (and diverting) study.
A very important book.
Indispensable...Starr's book does for California what Henry Nash Smith's 'Virgin Land' did for the opening of the West: it demonstrates how idea, myth, misconception and hope shaped and often distorted a developing society.
A vivid portrayal of the rich and varied intellectual forces which helped shape one of our most distinctive regional cultures.
An exceptional work, both in thought and magnitude....Both scholars and laymen will find this volume a worthwhile addition to their libraries.
A highly original inquiry into the interplay of vision and event.'
A captivating narrative that documents the importance of myth and imagination in attracting Americans to California before World War I.
