Recenzii
“Etulain, the leading historian of the Pacific Northwest, has written an updated, modern study of Pacific Northwest prose. As the preeminent scholar in this field, the author certainly contributes to the literary history of the region with insight and thorough scholarship.”
—Gary Scharnhorst, distinguished professor emeritus, University of New Mexico, author of Mark Twain: The Complete Interviews
“As a distinguished literary historian, Etulain is uniquely qualified to summarize past discussion of the literature and history of the Pacific Northwest and add his own fresh perspectives. The book is a significant contribution for a wide-ranging audience from the general public to the graduate student, literary critics, and historians.”
