New York, NY: Cambridge University Press, 1988. 1st Ed 2nd Pr. Hardbound. 8vo. 400 Pgs.. Nr Fine. The Fall Into Eden: Lanscape and Imagination in California by David Wyatt. Published by Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 1988. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardbound. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. 280 Pgs. ISBN 0521323991. LCCN 86-1004. In this book, David Wyatt examines the mythology of California as it is reflected in the literature of the region. He argues that the encounter with landscape played an important role in literature of the West, and distinguishes this particular characteristic from the literatures of other American regions. Wyatt discusses in depth the writings of Dana, Leonard, Fremont, Muir, King, Austin, Norris, Steinbeck, and Chandler, Jeffers and Snyder and their literary reactions to the landscape. By examining the changing role of the landscape in literature of California, the book sheds new light on an important theme in the American creative popular consciousness.
