Landscapes of Language

Set against the backdrop of the late 1960s and early 1970s, this study delves into Richard Brautigan's complex legacy as a counter-cultural figure whose literary merit has been overshadowed by his hip image. Dr. John Tanner seeks to restore Brautigan's reputation by examining his work within the cultural and literary transformations of the era. The analysis reveals Brautigan as a significant and innovative voice in American literature, challenging the notion that he is merely a relic of the Sixties.
