Recenzii
'Marriage, Violence and the Nation in the American Literary West makes a significant contribution to scholarship on western American literature. Handley focuses upon marriage as an ongoing social fact through which twentieth-century fiction revises readings of the West as America's destiny. This is a 'must read' book for scholars of the American West in literature and also history.' Susan Rosowski, University of Nebraska
'William R. Handley's book demonstrates an important and fascinating argument: in twentieth century American literature, after the Native has been domesticated, scenes of white American domesticity and marriage turn violent, as Empire brings its guns home. With sophisticated analyses and fresh readings that are intelligent, lively and forceful, Handley's work will make a real difference in scholarship of the American west and in American Studies. ' Lee Mitchell, Princeton University

Descriere
Handley explains that once its enemies are gone, imperialism brings violence home in retrospective narratives that allegorise national pasts and futures through intimate relationships.
