Throughout, Diane Dufva Quantic is aware of the region's collective social and cultural history--aware of the immensely fruitful clash between that complex history and Plains myth (such as \"Garden of the World\" and \"Great American Desert\"). In the vast and changeable Great Plains, as Wright Morris once remarked, \"Many things would come to pass, but the nature of the place would remain a matter of opinion.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Dufva Quantic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 5.97w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803288508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Society of Midland Authors Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDiane Dufva Quantic is an associate professor of English and director of the writing program at Wichita State University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45402507116659,"sku":"9780803288508","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4f2a5a7b-f3e2-49ce-bb82-90bdfdcf4134.jpg?v=1787743969","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-nature-of-the-place-a-study-of-great-plains-fiction-9780803288508","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
