Alta Live: Did Wallace Stegner Steal ‘Angle of Repose’ from a Woman?

In an article that has transfixed Alta Journal readers, contributor Sands Hall explored allegations that author Wallace Stegner plagiarized parts of his Pulitzer Prize–winning "Angle of Repose", lifting passages from Mary Hallock Foote’s autobiographical "A Victorian Gentlewoman in the Far West." But Stegner’s fiction deviates from Foote’s reality at the end of the book, leaving readers torn. Was Stegner simply inspired by Foote, or did he commit literary theft and damage her reputation in the process? When writing fiction, how much can (or should) authors borrow from the experiences of others? Hall joins Alta editor at large Mary Melton for a deep dive into this literary travesty and to discuss the ways in which many women writers have seen their work repurposed—and worse—by men.
