Abstract

Here is the standard précis of Mary Austin's biography: Her mother was cold, her childhood in Illinois lonely, and later, after she moved to California, her family life remained troubled. "Mary Austin, I- Mary, and Mary- by- Herself: Collaboration in Earth Horizon." Whereas the essays that comprise I The Land of Little Rain i grow out of Austin's direct observations of the landscape, "The Woman at the Eighteen- Mile" shows Austin in the processes of collecting, imagining, editing, arranging, and revising her work. Theories of Translation: An Anthology of Essays from Dryden to Derrida, edited by Rainer Schulte and John Biguenet, U of Chicago P, 1992, pp. 152-62. 37 Pearce, T. M. Mary Hunter Austin.
