Alpine, Texas, June, 1953: Sul Ross State College. Octavo. Reprinted from the Southwest Review (Spring 1950). p. 26-32. From an address first given to the Texas Institute of Letters in Dallas on November 11, 1949. The literate Dobie cites Matthew Arnold, West Texas Jodstproca; ad Scientific Society Publication Number Sixteen, Vol. XXXIII, No. 2. Contains "The Writer and His Region" . Robert Frost and D.H. Lawrence show how regionalism is rooted in authenticity and beyond some intellectual definition. It is the intimate familiarity of the land which must breath in the writer's works. Important not only for the collector but for those who would aspire to telling the truth about a region. [McVickers, C 309b]. (Inventory #: 013643)
