Stineman, Esther Lanigan. "Mary Hunter Austin: An American Woman of Letters," Yale University, March 1987.
Mine is a biocritical study of the American writer Mary Hunter Austin (1868-1934), whose inspiration for her essays, novels, drama, and poetry derived from the American West, particularly California and New Mexico, while her income was obtained from the Eastern literary establishment. The shape of Mary Austin’s career is examined, extending from her earliest California years through the New York years to her final years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Works examined, using a feminist analytic, include The Land of Little Rain, Santa Lucia, A Woman of Genius, Starry Adventure, The Basket Woman, The Arrow Maker, The Land of Journey’s Ending, Taos Pueblo, and Austin’s autobiography, Earth Horizon.
