Willa Cather Books Overview

O Pioneers!

O Pioneers!, by Willa Cather, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introductions commissioned from today’s top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader’s viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. ‘The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman,’ writes Willa Cather in O Pioneers! The country is America; the woman is Alexandra Bergson, a fiercely independent young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father’s farm in Nebraska. A model of emotional strength, courage, and resolve, Alexandra fights long and hard to transform her father s patch of raw, wind blasted prairie into a highly profitable business. A gripping saga of love, murder, greed, failure, and triumph, O Pioneers! vividly portrays the hardships of prairie life. Above all, it champions the belief that hard work is the surest road to personal fulfillment. Described upon publication in The New York Times as American in the best sense of the word, O Pioneers! celebrates the men and women who struggled to build a nation that is both compelling and contradictory. Chris Kraus is the author of Aliens & Anorexia, I Love Dick, and the forthcoming novel, Torpor. She is co editor of Hatred of Capitalism: A Semiotexte Reader, and edits Semiotexte Native Agents, a series of mostly female underground fiction.

The Song of the Lark

The daughter of a Swedish minister growing up in Colorado, Thea Kronborg’s adolescent ability on the piano is encouraged by her eccentric German music teacher, Professor Wuncsch, and by the kindly but unhappily married Dr. Howard Archie. Set apart from the townspeople by her talents, Thea’s friends are far from conventional. At 17 she leaves them and her mother’s influence to go to Chicago where she studies with the pianist Andor Harsanyi. Having overheard her singing in a church, he is the mentor who discovers the potential of Thea’s singing voice and sends her to study with the chill and selfish Madison Bowers, whom she dislikes. Her story moves to Arizona when she and a wealthy young brewer, Fred Ottenburg fall in love. A tension between her relationship with him and the driving artistic impulse that has always ruled her develops and becomes the novel’s compelling central theme.

Cather’s lyrical, atmospheric and moving novel is a thinly veiled autobiography of a female artist in America at the turn of the century. A mature work filled with memorable characters all of whom influence Thea in different ways, The Song of the Lark deserves to be read alongside O Pioneers! and My Antonia and fully justifies Cather’s status as one of America’s greatest twentieth-century writers.

My Ántonia

Set on the Nebraska prairie of the 1880s, My ntonia tells the story of ntonia Shimerda, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant. Through the eyes of Jim Burden, her tutor and admirer, we follow ntonia’s struggles and triumphs in the face of life’s relentless hardships. /Content /EditorialReview EditorialReview Source Amazon. com Review /Source Content It seems almost sacrilege to infringe upon a book as soulful and rich as Willa Cather’s My ntonia by offering comment. First published in 1918, and set in Nebraska in the late 19th century, this tale of the spirited daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family planning to farm on the untamed land ‘not a country at all but the material out of which countries are made’ comes to us through the romantic eyes of Jim Burden. He is, at the time of their meeting, newly orphaned and arriving at his grandparents’ neighboring farm on the same night her family strikes out to make good in their new country. Jim chooses the opening words of his recollections deliberately: ‘I first heard of ntonia on what seemed to be an interminable journey across the great midland plain of North America,’ and it seems almost certain that readers of Cather’s masterpiece will just as easily pinpoint the first time they heard of ntonia and her world. It seems equally certain that they, too, will remember that moment as one of great light in an otherwise unremarkable trip through the world.

ntonia, who, even as a grown woman somewhat downtrodden by circumstance and hard work, ‘had not lost the fire of life,’ lies at the center of almost every human condition that Cather’s novel effortlessly untangles. She represents immigrant struggles with a foreign land and tongue, the restraints on women of the time with which Cather was very much concerned, the more general desires for love, family, and companionship, and the great capacity for forbearance that marked the earliest settlers on the frontier.

As if all this humanity weren’t enough, Cather paints her descriptions of the vastness of nature the high, red grass, the road that ‘ran about like a wild thing,’ the endless wind on the plains with strokes so vivid as to make us feel in our bones that we’ve just come in from a walk on that very terrain ourselves. As the story progresses, Jim goes off to the University in Lincoln to study Latin later moving on to Harvard and eventually staying put on the East Coast in another neat encompassing of a stage in America’s development and learns Virgil’s phrase ‘Optima dies…
prima fugit
‘ that Cather uses as the novel’s epigraph. ‘The best days are the first to flee’ this could be said equally of childhood and the earliest hours of this country in which the open land, much like My ntonia, was nothing short of a rhapsody in prairie sky blue. Melanie Rehak

The Troll Garden

FLAVIA AND HER ARTISTSAs the train neared Tarrytown, Imogen Willard began to wonder why she had consented to be one of Flavia’s house party at all. She had not felt enthusiastic about it since leaving the city, and was experiencing a prolonged ebb of purpose, a current of chilling indecision, under which she vainly sought for the motive which had induced her to accept Flavians invitation. Perhaps it was a vague curiosity to see Flavia’s husband, who had been the magician of her childhood and the hero of innumerable Arabian fairy tales. Perhaps it was a desire to see M. Roux, whom Flavia had announced as the especial attraction of the occasion. Perhaps it was a wish to study that remarkable woman in her own setting.

Youth and The Bright Medusa

In 1920 Willa Cather collected eight of the stories she had written over the past twenty years into Youth and The Bright Medusa, stories of the perilous pursuit of the bright medusa of art in a hostile, materialistic world. These include some of her best tales: Coming, Aphrodite! focuses on a dedicated painter and his affair with a singer in pursuit of celebrity; Paul’s Case and A Wagner Matin e tell of a young man and an old woman with artistic longings crushed by their environments; The Sculptor s Funeral and The Diamond Mine show the high costs of success. The historical essay and explanatory notes trace the composition of the stories and their roots in the people, events, and places Cather knew, from her family to world famous sopranos, from Nebraska and Wyoming to New York and Pittsburgh, with new information on the sources for Paul s Case. Historical photographs, including a hitherto unknown portrait of the prototype for Paul, show people and places as Cather knew them. The textual essay and apparatus explore the versions that appeared in her lifetime, from first magazine publication to the final collected edition of her works and describe how the magazine version of Coming, Aphrodite! was censored by the editors, even to the title.

Willa Cather’s Collected Short Fiction, 1892-1912

As well as adding another story to the original forty four, the revised edition updates and expands the chronology and the bibliographies in the light of recent research. It corrects factual and formal errors in the introduction and notes, and emends misprints in the text.

Uncle Valentine and Other Stories

The seven stories in this volume were written during the ascending and perhaps most triumphant years of Willa Cather’s career, the period during which she published nine books, including My ntonia, A Lost Lady, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. For the most part ironic in tone, these stories are, as Bernice Slote observes, bound by the geometrics of urban life streets and offices, workers and firms, the business world of New York and Pittsburgh, the cities which by 1929 Willa Cather had known well for over thirty years.’ In her introduction, Slote discusses their biographical elements, connections with earlier and later work, and the intricate patterns that lie below the lucid, shimmering surface of Willa Cather’s prose.

The Autobiography of S. S. McClure

S. S. McClure was one of America’s greatest editors and publishers in the lively era of muckraking reform. He is remembered for McClure s Magazine, which early in the twentieth century published the works of famous authors and social reformers. He was also the mentor of young Willa Cather. After leaving her position at McClure s in 1912, Cather ghosted this graceful portrait of her former boss. Cather s developing style is clear throughout The Autobiography of S. S. McClure. She goes far inside her subject to find his voice and catch the rhythms of his exciting life: his immigration from Ireland to America, his Horatio Alger like rise from poverty and struggle to success. Cather shows the risks he took in forming the first newspaper syndicate in the United States, which gave him access to such literary masters as Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, and Robert Louis Stevenson. His extensive contacts were advantageous later in establishing McClure s, the medium for muckrakers like Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens. These famous figures, and many others, enter into The Autobiography of S. S. McClure, which was originally published in 1914, just as Cather was launching her own illustrious career as a novelist

Not Under Forty

For Willa Cather, ‘the world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts.’ The whole legacy of Western civilization stood on the far side of World War I, and in the spiritually impoverished present she looked back to that. To that she directed readers of these essays, declaring that anyone under forty years old would not be interested in them. But she was wrong: since its first publication in 1936, Not Under Forty has appealed to readers of all ages who share Cather’s concern for excellence, for what endures, in literature and in life.

Willa Cather on Writing

‘Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there that, one might say, is created.’ This famous observation appears in Willa Cather on Writing, a collection of essays and letters first published in 1949. In the course of it Cather writes, with grace and piercing clarity, about her own fiction and that of Sarah Orne Jewett, Stephen Crane, and Katherine Mansfield, among others. She concludes, ‘Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself a game of make believe, of re production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.’

Alexander’s Bridge

Series Copy: Continuing a tradition begun in 1905, The World’s Classics series offers a wealth of American and British literature, as well as translated works by French, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Scandinavian, and classical Greek and Latin masters.

Both anxious and celebratory, Cather’s novel anticipates The Great Gatsby in trying to reckon with the social and emotional costs of that emergence.

One of Ours

CLAUDE WHEELER opened his eyes before the sun was up and vigorously shook his younger brother, who lay in the other half of the same bed. ‘Ralph, Ralph, get awake! Come down and help me wash the car.’ ‘What for?”Why, aren’t we going to the circus today?”Car’s all right. Let me alone.’ The boy turned over and pulled the sheet up to his face, to shut out the light which was beginning to come through the curtainless windows. Claude rose and dressed, a simple operation which took very little time. He crept down two nights of stairs, feeling his way in the dusk, his red hair standing up in peaks, like a cock’s comb. He went through the kitchen into the adjoining washroom, which held two porcelain stands with running water. Everybody had washed before going to bed, apparently, and the bowls were ringed with a dark sediment which the hard, alkaline water had not dissolved. Shutting the door on this disorder, he turned back to the kitchen, took Mahailey’s tin basin, douseTable of Contents Book I On Lovely Creek I; Book II Enid 117; Book III Sunrise on the Prairie 201; Book IV The Voyage of the Anchises 267; Book V ‘Bidding the Eagles of the West Fly On’ 323About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.

A Lost Lady

First published in 1923, A Lost Lady is one of Willa Cather’s classic novels about life on the Great Plains. It harks back to Nebraska s early history and contrasts those days with an unsentimental portrait of the materialistic world that supplanted the frontier. In her subtle portrait of Marian Forrester, whose life unfolds in the midst of this disquieting transition, Cather created one of her most memorable and finely drawn characters. This Willa Cather Scholarly Edition of A Lost Lady is edited according to standards set by the Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association. The historical essay describes the origin, writing, and reception of the novel as well as motion pictures that were later based on it; and a selection of archival photographs illuminates the connection between the novel and the people and places from Cather s formative years in Nebraska. Explanatory notes identify locations, literary references, persons, events, and specialized terminology. The textual essays describe the production and subsequent revisions of the text. Susan J. Rosowski is Adele Hall Distinguished Professor of English at the University of Nebraska and the series editor for Cather Studies. Kari A. Ronning is assistant editor of the Cather Scholarly Edition. Charles W. Mignon and Frederick M. Link are professors emeritus of English at the University of Nebraska.

The Professor’s House

The scholarly edition of The Professor’s House incorporates into its textual analysis findings from a recently discovered and significantly reworked draft of the novel. Willa Cather’s perennial claims that there were no extant drafts make this discovery especially important to Cather scholars. Written in 1925, when she was fifty two years old, The Professor’s House was Cather’s seventh novel. Cather explained that in this novel she had attempted two structural experiments. The first experiment she took from the practice of early French and Spanish novelists of inserting a ‘nouvelle into the roman,’ hence the first person ‘Tom Outland’s Story’ wedged between the other two parts of the novel. Second, she compared the novel’s structure to a sonata form in music, with the center section in significant contrast to the surrounding sectionsBehind the understated prose relating the story of Professor Godfrey St. Peter, who, despite his success, experiences at midcareer a profound disappointment with life, is the fierce account of how he decides to continue living despite those disappointments. Tom Outland’s thrilling tale of a long lost civilization is both an ironic contrast to the professor’s staid outer life and a mirror of the imaginative interior life he experiences in his attic study.

My Mortal Enemy

‘People can be lovers and enemies at the same time. We were…
‘ Through the eyes of a young girl, Nellie, we view the life of Myra, a legend in the Southern town where both were born. Myra has romantically abandoned the luxury she was born into to elope with the impoverished Oswald Henshawe. Twenty five years later, Nellie is dazzled when she meets them living in the elegant poverty of an apartment frequented by singers, actors, poets in the heart of the artistic community of old New York. But this shabby gentility gives way to real poverty in a jerrybuilt West Coast hotel, and the high purpose of Myra’s life love itself is revealed to be the enemy within. A finely wrought study of the great rewards and punishments love brings, My Mortal Enemy is an exquisite example of Willa Cather’s art.

Death Comes for the Archbishop

Death Comes for the Archbishop sprang from Willa Cather’s love for the land and cultures of the American Southwest. Published in 1927 to both praise and perplexity, it has since claimed for itself a major place in twentieth century literature. When Cather first visited the American Southwest in 1912, she found a new world to imagine and soon came to feel that ‘the story of the Catholic Church in the Southwest was the most interesting of all its stories.’ The narrative follows Bishop Jean Latour and Father Joseph Vaillant, friends since their childhood in France, as they organize the new Roman Catholic diocese of Santa Fe subsequent to the Mexican War. While seeking to revive the church and build a cathedral in the desert, the clerics, like their historical prototypes, Bishop Jean Lamy and Father Joseph Machebeuf, face religious corruption, natural adversity, and the loneliness of living in a strange and unforgiving land. The Willa Cather Scholarly Edition presents groundbreaking research, establishing a new text that reflects Cather s long and deep involvement with her story. The historical essay traces the artistic and spiritual development that led to its writing. The broad ranging explanatory notes illuminate the elements of French, Mexican, Hispanic, and Native American cultures that meet in the course of the narrative; they also explain the part played by the land and its people their history, religion, art, and languages. The textual essay and apparatus reveal Cather s creative process and enable the reader to follow the complex history of the text.

Shadows on the Rock

Shadows on the Rock, written after Willa Cather discovered Quebec City during an unplanned stay in 1928, is the second of her ‘Catholic’ historical novels and reflects her fascination with finding a little piece of France in eastern Canada. Set in the late seventeenth century, the novel centers on the activities of the widowed apothecary Euclide Auclair and his young daughter, Cecile. To Auclair’s house and shop come trappers, missionaries, craftsmen, the indigent those seeking cures, a taste of France, or liberation from the corruptions caused there by the excesses of the French court. Set against these fictional characters, historical personages such as Bishop Laval, Count Frontenac, and others contend in the political life of the vast colony. This edition, which is approved by the Modern Language Association, will be of special importance to Cather scholars. Not only is Cather’s mining of historical sources explored in extensive explanatory notes, but a recently discovered reworked draft of the novel has been incorporated into the textual analysis. There is also a generous illustration section with maps of the setting.

Lucy Gayheart

‘Some people’s lives are affected by what happens to their person or their property, but for others fate is what happens to their feelings and their thoughts that and nothing more.’ In this haunting 1935 novel, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of My ntonia and Death Comes for the Archbishop performs a series of crystalline variations on the themes that preoccupy her greatest fiction: the impermanence of innocence, the opposition between prairie and city, provincial American values and world culture, and the grandeur, elation, and heartache that await a gifted young woman who leaves her small Nebraska town to pursue a life in art. At the age of eighteen, Lucy Gayheart heads for Chicago to study music. She is beautiful and impressionable and ardent, and these qualities attract the attention of Clement Sebastian, an aging but charismatic singer who exercises all the tragic, sinister fascination of a man who has renounced life only to turn back to seize it one last time. Out of their doomed love affair and Lucy’s fatal estrangement from her origins Willa Cather creates a novel that is as achingly lovely as a Schubert sonata.

Sapphira and the Slave Girl

Willa Cather’s twelfth and final novel, Sapphira and the Slave Girl, is her most intense fictional engagement with political and personal conflict. Set in Cather s Virginia birthplace in 1856, the novel draws on family and local history and the escalating conflicts of the last years of slavery conflicts in which Cather s family members were deeply involved, both as slave owners and as opponents of slavery. Cather, at five years old, appears as a character in an unprecedented first person epilogue. Tapping her earliest memories, Cather powerfully and sparely renders a Virginia world that is simultaneously beautiful and, as she said, terrible. The historical essay and explanatory notes explore the novel s grounding in family, local, and national history; show how southern cultures continually shaped Cather s life and work, culminating with this novel; and trace the progress of Cather s research and composition during years of grief and loss that she described as the worst of her life. More early drafts, including manuscript fragments, are available for Sapphira and the Slave Girl than for any other Cather novel, and the revealing textual essay draws on this rich resource to provide new insights into Cather s composition process.

Prose and Poetry of the American West

Prose and Poetry of the American West is an extraordinarily comprehensive collection of short stories, poems, and essays about the American West that represents the extensive contributions of all its people: men, women, natives, and immigrants. The more than fifty authors included are listed according to their birth dates; and their production, spanning four and a half centuries, is divided into four periods. Work defines each period and shows how selected authors exemplify it. Among those representing the Emergence Period 1540 1832 of explorers and pioneers entering the American West and a new state of consciousness are Pedro de Casta eda, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, Jedediah Smith, and Walt Whitman. The Mythopoeic Period 1833 1889 is represented by, among others, Helen Hunt Jackson, Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Andy Adams, Owen Wister, Black Elk, Luther Standing Bear, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, and John C. Neihardt. In the Neo mythic Period 1890 1914, such authors as Thomas Hornsby Ferril, Man Sandoz, Frank Waters, Dorothy Johnson, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Wallace Stegner, Wright Morris, and William Stafford begin revising the old myths of the American West. Finally, in the Neo western Period 1914 to the present Edward Abbey, Gary Snyder, James Welch, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and others demonstrate how the land west of the ninety eighth meridian has shaped the creative consciousness. This admirable anthology, filling a need long felt by readers, shows writers singing about the American West, the land of dreams; then recording great deeds in it; and finally turning to examine their thoughts about it.

Great American Ghost Stories

Sixteen spine-tingling tales from the dark side of our nation’s literary history include ‘The Gray Champion’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne, ‘Ligeia’ by Edgar Allan Poe, plus fables by Sarah Orne Jewett, Henry James, Mark Twain, Mary Wilkins Freeman, Ambrose Bierce, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Frank R. Stockton, Parke Godwin, and others.
