Bøker av Megan Riley McGilchrist

A book about exile and transformation. It is primarily about Mary Hallock Foote, artist and writer, easterner-turned-westerner, but it is a hybrid work - as well as being about Mary, it is about what it has been like for the author, a twenty-first century American expatriate, to find common ground in the life of a nineteenth century woman.

Establishes a link between the western American writers, Wallace Stegner and Cormac McCarthy. This book examines the treatment of landscape and nature in their works, suggesting that they exemplify perspectives which are related to their authors' historical positions before and after the cultural watershed of the Vietnam era.
