Adventures With a Texas Humanist
Publisher: Texas Christian University Press | ISBN: 0875652883 | edition 2004 | PDF | 284 pages | 1,8 mb
For the first half of the twentieth century, Texas literature, culture, and folklore were dominated by J. Frank Dobie, the man Lon Tinkle called "Mr. Texas." Dobie's Texas was a land of exuberance and romance, a time when Texas was proud of itself and not loath to let the world know it.But the culture of the state changed in the 1960s, and the figure who replaced Dobie as the dominant Texas writer and literary icon was Larry McMurtry. The Texas of Larry McMurtry is a far different landscape. The old certainties were replaced by irony and cultural revolution. The high, wide, and handsome posture of Texans was muted by politics, student unrest, and war. In the first two essays in this volume--"The Age of Dobie" and "The Age of McMurtry"--James Ward Lee places the writers, the politicians, and the cultural leaders in the context of each age.
