Abstract
Kim, Ilgu. “Encountering between East and West: Owen Wister’s The Virginian.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 32.3(2006): 39-59. Owen Wister was a typical Easterner who was familiar with Eastern system and law, the inherited tradition from the Europe. At that same time, however, he was a person who felt the limit of the conventional and feminized Eastern culture. By having “Western cure,” he recognized the importance of Western fortitude, vigor and freedom which were greatly needed into the Eastern society. The emergence of Virginian the western folklore hero encapsulates the difference and tension between East and West in early modern America and requires readers to face their decision between Eastern establishment and Western experiences and finally to combine these two conflicting tendencies. Although Virginian is often criticized as the hero who lacks heteroglossia unlike Fenimore Cooper’s Natty Bumppo, the praise and popularity for his stout soul and frontier spirit is ironically uprising in the post-war period. Despite the overt shortcomings of Anglo-Saxon chauvinism of the western hero, Owen Wister’s romantic superman cowboy in The Virginian strongly embodies the healthy American post-frontier ethics which is called the spirit of “self-exile expatriate” by Richard Slokin. Like Remington and Roosevelt’s works, Owen Wister’s Virginian heightens the strenuous life for Americans and serves as the popular model for us to examine American potential energy, clues for understanding American culture, and limits of its paradoxical qualities.
