"The
Literature of California, Volume I [is] not
solely an anthology of writings that extends
from Native American creation myths to selections
from famous literature. It is more wide-ranging
than that, as expansive and varied as California's
own geography. . . . If the first volume, with
its individual songs, poems and essays, rising
in songs that strike every human note, is the
great opera, then Volume II promises to be CALIFORNIA,
THE MOVIE!"
-- Thomas Sanchez, LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW,
January 7, 2001

"For sensitivity, perspective, visual loveliness and
sheer monumentality, though--600 pages plus, and that's
just up to the year 1945--this new volume looms like
Half Dome . . . The UC Press anthology is the real
California adventure."
-- David Kipen, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE, January 17,
2001
"An
important milestone in the evolution of California
. . . The Literature of California is more than an
anthology. It suggests a vast public work, a Golden
Gate Bridge of intellectual and imaginative materials."
-- Kevin Starr, California State Librarian
