Overview
Renowned for their spirited portrayals of pioneer life on the austere Nebraska prairie, Willa Cather's novels--such as O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Antonia--carry Cather's trademark strong women characters, intimate knowledge of the midwestern landscape, and lean, supple prose. In the course of her 40-year writing career, Cather published a dozen novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning One of Ours. In this revision Philip Gerber refines and updates his seminal 1975 study, bringing fresh insights to Cather biography and criticism.Editorials
Booknews
Arranging his material by genre and chronologically, Gerber (English, State U. of New York, Brockport) provides an overview of Cather's life; examines the early, middle, and final novels; assesses her contributions to short fiction; and synthesizes past and present Cather biography and criticism, with special attention given to the question of Cather's sexual orientation.
