About the book

Owen Wister's The Virginian is a foundational novel of the American West. Set in Wyoming, it follows an unnamed cowboy known as the Virginian as he works on a cattle ranch, confronts lawlessness and develops a relationship with the schoolteacher Molly Wood. The novel helped establish many conventions of the Western genre, including the laconic hero, frontier justice, cattle-country life and the tension between civilisation and violence.
