His Stegner Fellows from Stanford include some of the best writers and scholars of this generation. His thoughtful environmental activism has ever more relevance for the world of today.

What People Are Saying

Richard Etulain
Quite simply, Jackson Benson is the best-versed specialist we have on Stegner, whom I consider the best of our recent Western writers. The collection links a superb critic/biographer with a premier western writer. These essays reveal the strengths of Benson's approach to Stegner. Not only does he provide revealing commentaries on the best-known of Stenger's novels, nonfiction, and short stories, he also furnishes new material on Stegner's role in conservation and environmental efforts, his less recognized writings, and his friendship with Robert Frost.
