he a
Psychologist, his father a (mere) Writer. In reading and re-reading Zane Grey I aware of a profound subtext to his work, The Search for Meaning, maybe in a populist but relevant tone. do not forget that hi lived and wrote in the days of Jung, William James, Freud, Adler, and many others, Faulkner, Hemingway, all searching for answers. He explored areas of social change such as Womens Rights, Mormons, Unions, War and he wrote from impeccable research, many of his stories were based on true events, however stylized his words may have been. It is a pity a Publisher, rather than close family, don't own the rights as they are ripe for this age we live in. But don't take my word for it, read them. The femininity alluded to was a troubled man, drawn to beautiful young women, who could not hide himself in his words. He was certainly in touch with the feminine aspects of his psyche. Healthily so? Not for me to say.
126:
does "based on serials" mean? "Based on" implies to me that the dude is going back and rewriting/reshaping things (& he can't do that when he's dead). Maybe I'm just being picky but the wording makes it seems like it isn't the same thing as a 'serial novel'. I'm not going to change the phrasing because I haven't read the book and don't know what's up. It'd be great if maybe someone could note which books were published as serials + original publication medium & date(s). This is the first time I've posted anything on a discussion page & sorry if there is a format or etiquette or anything I should've followed & didn't.

manuscripts. His son Romer was the last Grey to live in the houdse and I am sure he was able to control distribution of the manuscripts after his father's death. These manuscripts have all found their way to auction, to say, that not one is left in the home. The present owner who bought the house from Romer had found these manuscripts available for price tage ranging from $ 25,000 to $ 40,000 which kept her and her husband from ever acquiring one.

311:"The so-called civilization of man and his works shall perish from the earth, while the shifting sands, the red looming walls, the purple sage, and the towering monuments, the cast brooding range show no perceptible change.” Could someone please check this quotation; the part "the cast brooding range" seems suspect to me.

I have several original or second edition Zane Grey novels that are printed much earlier than the dates listed in this article. One in particular is Rogue River Feud with a 1929 copyright by Curtis
Publishing company. Since these belonged to my father who was born in 1908, he must have bought them
205:
Zane Grey's style was of a profoundly psychological bent, his son, Dr. Lauren Grey was
Emeritus Professor of Psychology at UC Riverside. In discussion with Dr.Grey I suggested that he was similar to his father, he looked at me quite shocked and stated words to the effect that they were worlds apart,

was published by Harper & Brothers in April 1948 (the publication date) listing the code letters C-X (indicating a March 1948 press date). The 1929 copyright date simply indicates when the author copyrighted the first installment of what would later become the 1948 novel. I'll add a sentence to
362:
In addition to what is mentioned in the article, the BBC broadcast its own production of Riders of the Purple Sage (excellent even by BBC Radio Drama standards) circa 2001. I'm pretty sure it was the output of the
Classic Serial department, and broadcast in two episodes, each close to an hour long.
274:
And the literary critics of that time that slammed him and belittled his works!....what's up with those guys? Were they just jealous of a huge success story? Again, I know that they were from extreme intellectual circles and in their minds they probably saw all the imperfections of his writings but
260:
I started reading Grey's books when I was a boy in the 1960's and fell in love with his books. I read also many other authors such as Louis Lamar and Max Brand and many others. However, none of them captured my imagination the way Grey's books did. None of them had the ability to couple hard riding
440:
Zane was reportedly quite the serial womanizer, and reportedly took many extended trips with various women while married. While one affair is mentioned in here, I think more about this aspect of his life should be mentioned. Thomas Pauly wrote a book that talked about some of this, and it should
270:
When I think of his early start and how the publishers were so critical and literally turned down his good works it makes me see red as it did him. What were they thinking? I realized it is their business and they are the experts but the numbers soon began to speak for themselves as his popularity
102:
In Grey's
Altadena home there is a large wing that he had added on referred to as his studio. The upper level is a ballroom sized studio large enough to entertain 100 people. There he had a swing-open cabinet with tin-lined pigeon holes large enough to hold manuscripts, and enough to hold 40 or 50
125:
The article should mention where all this posthumous material is coming from (it's like a third of the guy's output) and why he chose not to publish it earlier. Did Grey consider these manuscripts inferior/unfinished or was he and/or his angent/editors/whoever avoiding oversaturation? Also, what
236:
In his novel „Betty Zane“ he says in chapter 1 that the family is of Danish origin. Zane was an aristocrat which had to go into exile. He came with
William Penn (remember Zane Street in Philadelphia). “Being a proud and arrogant man, he soon became obnoxious to his Quaker brethren (citation)”.
441:
also be added to the "Further reading" section. Also, evidently his wife Dolly, was quite the saint and put up with his dalliances. Apparently, she was also quite the woman behind the man, and I think that more info about this special lady should be included in the article.
256:
I only wish that I had the ability to write the way my literary hero Zane Grey did. And being as I had very little education my command of the english language is extremely limited. However I will say a few simple words from a simple mind about a great and gifted author.
165:
Without that information, there isn't any way of telling that Zane Grey westerns aren't a phenomenon similar to
Sherlock Holmes, where we have hundreds of stories and novels, but of which A. Conan Doyle himself only penned 54 stories and 4 novels.
281:
My only regret that I see about all of his work was his apparent lack of faith in a God that made all the beauty that he could so wonderfully discribe. I hope that in his last days he found peace with God and I can meet him in heaven.
95:
16:30, 18 December 2005 (PST) Many of his manuscripts were never published. While he was alive, only his most successful manuscripts were published as novels. After he died, those unpublished manuscripts eventually made it to print.
84:"He was the author of over 90 books, some published posthumously and/or based on serials originally published in magazines." I guess that explains it. That'll teach me to RTFA. Still, that's a lot of posthumous work!
382:
Is there any evidence that The Lone Star Ranger was the basis of The Lone Ranger on TV, as stated here? It's not mentioned anywhere that I can see on the Lone Ranger article, and I've not seen it anywhere else...
195:
Why is it that his writing style is so feminine? Did his wife the almost-school-teacher write as a an unnamed co-author or author with his name? The style of
Georgette Heyer is similar but much cleaner and
421:
All very confusing. Someone familiar with Grey's works might wish to add a short section to clear up the confusion surrounding the several books or parts of books that have been mixed and matched.

For many years I got away from reading any books but as of the last several years I have returned and what can I say.....I'm hooked on Grey! I try to read others but its just not the same.

418:...isn't in the bibliography. Perhaps that was intentional, because it seems to have been a re-packaged version of another pair of stories that Harper joined and published as one.
278:
Zane certianly had his imperfections and being raised in the home that he was with all of its discouragements and cruelties, I would say that he rose above it all.....perfectly.
267:
I am now trying to collect at least one of every book he wrote. I think I have most of his westerns and a couple of his fishing books. I also have two biography's.
