Book Description
An authorized reprint of Dr. Richards' 1980 examination of Mrs. Porter's literary career, first published as No. 364 in Twayne's United States Authors Series and out-of-print since 1984. Dr. Richards provides an in-depth look as Mrs. Porter's nature books, poetry, magazine contributions and novels and assesses her place in the American world of letters. He endeavors to explain the vast appeal of her work, against the background of her times, to an admiring public. As the seminal work of scholarly literary criticism about Mrs. Porter, this volume deserves a prominent place in any Stratton-Porter collection. Clothbound, Smythe-sewn, portrait, index.
