Description
Book SynopsisWilla Cather is often pegged as a regionalist, a feminine and domestic writer, or a social realist. In Cather Among the Moderns, Janis P. Stout firmly situates Cather as a visionary practitioner of literary modernism, something other scholars have hinted at but rarely affirmed.
Trade ReviewCather Among the Moderns is a major contribution to the field of Cather scholarship. It will immediately be a touchstone for anyone working on Cather; with its groundbreaking study of the relationships between Cather and a range of other authors and their works, from Dorothy Canfield Fisher to Virginia Woolf and Robert Frost, it will also serve as a wonderful resource for future studies. Further, it helps us understand literary modernism, and modernism itself, in deeper and more nuanced ways."" - Julie Olin-Ammentorp, author of
Edith Wharton's Writings from the Great War and a member of the Board of Governors of the Willa Cather Foundation
