The Virginian

by Owen Wister

Owen Wister's classic popular romance THE VIRGINIAN (1902) had a significant influence on the Western fiction genre. This edition includes Wister's neglected essay, "The Evolution of the Cow-Puncher" (1895) and an introduction highlighting the social, gender, and political implications of Wister's mythic West in the context of its actual history.
