About this title

Synopsis

“Dolly and Zane Grey” (pages 115-176) includes a 4-page biographical introduction and bibliography.

The letters are a rich source of information about a dramatic marriage and a meteoric career at the dawn of the Age of Hollywood. They reveal how important Dolly Grey was to her husband, both as a manager and editor. They are to some extent emblematic of the times, from the post-Victorian years, through the liberalizing but decadent twenties and the desperate thirties. Possibly because of the old-fashioned moralism of his novels and the nature of his audience, some of the facts about Zane Grey’s life have been obscured by biographers, by means of avoidance and outright denial.
