Willa Cather

Born in Virginia in 1873 and raised on a Nebraska ranch, Willa Cather is known for her beautifully evocative short stories and novels about the American West. Cather became the managing editor for McClure’s Magazine in 1906 and lived for forty years in New York City with her companion Edith Lewis. In 1922 Cather won the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, the story of a Western boy in World War I. In 1933 she was awarded the Prix Femina Americaine “for distinguished literary accomplishments.” She died in 1947.

Samenvatting

One of America&;s greatest women writers, Willa Cather established her talent and her reputation with this extraordinary novel&;the first of her books set on the Nebraska frontier. A tale of the prairie land encountered by America&;s Swedish, Czech, Bohemian, and French immigrants, as well as a story of how the land challenged them, changed them, and, in some cases, defeated them, Cather&;s novel is a uniquely American epic.

Alexandra Bergson, a young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father&;s farm and must transform it from raw prairie into a prosperous enterprise, is the first of Cather&;s great heroines&;all of them women of strong will and an even stronger desire to overcome adversity and succeed. But the wild land itself is an equally important character in Cather&;s books, and her descriptions of it are so evocative, lush, and moving that they provoked writer Rebecca West to say of her: &;The most sensuous of writers, Willa Cather builds her imagined world almost as solidly as our five senses build the universe around us.&;

Willa Cather, perhaps more than any other American writer, was able to re-create the real drama of the pioneers, capturing for later generations a time, a place, and a spirit that has become part of our national heritage.
