Bret Harte. Chronicler of the Golden West

Description

The Luck of Roaring Camp, "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," and "Tennessee's Partner" are cornerstones of American literature, of the very chronicle of America and its self-created myth. This program shows us their author-miner, schoolteacher, unsuccessful satirist and poet, pioneer in the genres of short story and the proto-Western-and examines his world, his values, his works, and the reasons for their enduring worth.
