About this book
Owen Wister's short novel follows two easygoing Harvard undergraduates who hire a diligent tutor to help them cram for a philosophy examination. It suits readers interested in American literature and satirical depictions of turn-of-the-century college life.
Owen Wister
Owen Wister was an American writer. His novel The Virginian, published in 1902, helped create the cowboy as a folk hero in the United States and built Wister's reputation as the "father of Western fiction." He was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame. The Western Writers of America renamed the Saddleman Award for best book of the year to the Owen Wister Award, and Mount Wister in Wyoming was named in his honor.
