TATUM, STEPHEN. In The Remington Moment.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2010. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
For most people, the work of Frederic Remington conjures an antiquarian world of all things "western." Why this is so, and whether it should be so, are two of the critical questions raised in this book. Stephen Tatum closely considers selected paintings from Remington's last four years of lifeÑhis so-called years of critical acclaim. Tatum's purpose is twofold: first, to understand these paintings, both formally and thematically, within their historical, aesthetic, and biographical contexts; and second, to account for what endows them todayÑafter marking the centennial of Remington's death in 1909Ñwith continuing aesthetic and cultural significance. To this end, Tatum examines these late paintings in relation to Remington's other works, his letters and published writings, his evolving critical reception, and the writing and artwork of other cultural figures of the era, such as historian Frederick Jackson Turner and sociologist Georg Simmel. The book provides an illuminating glimpse of how and why particular Remington works might seize a viewer's attention in his or her past or present moment of receptionÑhow in fact their unstable visual complexity can ultimately absorb their viewer. In his "Coda," Tatum offers a personal memoir of his own encounter with Remington's The Love Call, a critical meditation enacting and questioning the "Remington Moment."

TATUM, STEPHEN (EDITOR); GRAULICH, MELODY (EDITOR). Reading The Virginian In The New West.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2003. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Although the origins of the western are as old as colonial westward expansion, it was Owen Wister's novel The Virginian, published in 1902, that established most of the now-familiar conventions of the genre. On the heels of the classic western's centennial, this collection of essays both re-examines the text of The Virginian and uses Wister's novel as a lens for studying what the next century of western writing and reading will bring. The contributors address Wister's life and travels, the novel's influence on and handling of gender and race issues, and its illustrations and various retellings on stage, film, and television as points of departure for speculations about the "new West"Ñas indeed Wister himself does at the end of the novel. The contributors reconsider the novel's textual complexity and investigate The Virginian's role in American literary and cultural history. Together their essays represent a new western literary studies, comparable to the new western history.
