Revue de presse :
Highly readable....The book is full of surprises, it is constantly challenging....A fine performance. (Pacific Historical Review)
[Starr] is bringing much to Western social and literary history. (American Historical Review)
One devil of a fine book, a book only a native Californian could write...about the Inner Life of California, the psychic landscape that emerges from the works and ways of her writers, both native and self-adopted. The result is a mature, well-proportioned and marvelously diverse (and diverting) study. (The New York Times Book Review)
A very important book. (Joseph H. Krause, California State University, Long Beach)
Indispensable...Starr's book does for California what Henry Nash Smith's 'Virgin Land' did for the opening of the West: it demonstrates how idea, myth, misconception and hope shaped and often distorted a developing society. (Los Angeles Times)
A vivid portrayal of the rich and varied intellectual forces which helped shape one of our most distinctive regional cultures. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
An exceptional work, both in thought and magnitude....Both scholars and laymen will find this volume a worthwhile addition to their libraries. (History: Reviews of New Books)
A highly original inquiry into the interplay of vision and event.' (Virginia Quarterly Review)
A captivating narrative that documents the importance of myth and imagination in attracting Americans to California before World War I. (R.H. Limbaugh, University of the Pacific)
