Editorial Reviews

A study of the art-thought of the three principle spokesmen for the traditionalist view in art production and criticism for the period from the 1870s to around 1950. This last Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924) novel is an ode to her adopted home, California, and its natural beauty. Porter was injured in an automobile accident and died before its first publication in 1925. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
