Reviews
"A powerful, well-made tool, one students and general readers alike can handle without feeling burdened or intimidated by length and one that provides specialists with plenty of reference material, not to mention as easy grip on both past and present. In the end, few informed readers will beable to argue with Lyon's judgments or his knowledge, much less with his refreshing willingness to take chances.. The Literary West is definitely a book made to last."--The Bloomsbury Review, "A tantalizing overview of western American literature from the sixteenth century to the present....A culturally and historically significant literary collection."--Booklist, "A powerful, well-made tool, one students and general readers alike canhandle without feeling burdened or intimidated by length and one that providesspecialists with plenty of reference material, not to mention as easy grip onboth past and present.
