• W332633921 abstract "Of course artists borrow--and (at times unknowingly) collaborate--all the time, and it's important if not vital we be allowed to do so.... So many ideas come from those who came before, and culture will stop dead if we don't get to borrow ... and stir bits into our own stews. But ... that is very different from taking chunks of text written by another and folding them into one's work as if they are one's own. I have joked that making sure I footnoted everybody in Fair Use--acknowledging the source material and quotes--added at least five minutes of text and time to the play. --Sands Hall (1) I'm not trashing him. I'm just pointing out that he borrowed word after word someone else wrote, typed them into manuscript, and called himself the author. --Playwright, Fair Use On the website program for the 2002 Western Literature Association meeting in Tucson, Arizona, conference attendees were gently admonished to behave themselves at the Reader's Theatre, cherished annual event. That year's play was an abridged version of California playwright Sands Hall's Fair Use, complex feminist look at the ongoing debates regarding originality and plagiarism in Wallace Stegner's 1971 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Angle of Repose. When Hall, who attended the performance of her play at WLA, referred to the organization as a bastion of Stegner adoration, she accurately described the esteem with which Stegner is regarded by many of its members (Reynolds 8). The website's warning therefore embodied reasonable anxiety. The specific historical and ethical disputes the play investigates have been known to academics for three decades. Stegner's Angle of Repose weaves together two stories. The first is the historical story of writer and illustrator Susan Burling Ward and her engineer husband Oliver Ward as they move throughout the West following Oliver's dreams of invention and irrigation. The second is the contemporary story of Lyman Ward, Susan's grandson, as he pieces together her life from unpublished letters and other writings for novel he is writing on her life. In the course of sorting through her writings--primarily letters to her dear friend back east, Augusta--Lyman comes to understand the tragic events that led to his grandmother and grandfather's enduring unhappiness with one another. Stegner's novel won Pulitzer Prize and received largely positive reviews, particularly regarding Stegner's rendition of the historical portion of the novel. But Stegner had borrowed heavily from Western writer and artist Mary Hallock Foote's personal correspondence to her Eastern friend, Helena Gilder, and her then-unpublished reminiscences for the basis of his fictional Susan Ward. Many of Foote's original letters to Gilder appear in the novel, either unchanged or slightly edited, as letters from Susan to Augusta. In addition, the novel's title, numerous other characters and scenes, and the major action in the novel can be traced directly to Foote's writings. When Stegner appropriated Foote's personal letters and other writing into his novel, and then did not identify them or their original context except in an oblique and deliberately vague thank-you to Foote's descendents at the beginning of the novel, he set in motion one of the more frustrating episodes of his career. (2) Responses to Stegner's actions vary. While some see his decision to use Foote's writing (and the outlines and episodes of her life) as outright theft, the kind of bad-spirited behavior that gets writing students expelled, others defend Stegner as creative writer merely and necessarily taking creative license in the production of fictional work. Fair Use strides into this debate intent on provoking the audience to ponder the issues and implications of what it means to be an Author. Like Angle of Repose, Fair Use works structurally to intertwine stories, but here there are three, rather than two. …" @default.
