Great American NovelHoming in on the Prairie with Willa Cather's My ÁntoniaSend us a textWilla Cather's most famous novel was published only two months before the Armistice ended the bloodshed of the Great War, and in its powerfully imagistic portrait of Midwestern homesteading, it offered readers an emotional connection to the nation's founding myth of pioneer fortitude. Yet My Ántonia wasn't just a story about pilgrims' progress across the prairies: it was a story of immigrants struggling to realize the American Dream that appeared in an era of extreme xenophobia that will feel painfully resonant to contemporary readers. In telling the story of the resilient Ántonia Shimerda an...

The Fields Elysian glitter in a spray
Of golden dust; the gilded dome is bright,
The towers of Notre Dame cut clean and gray
The evening sky, and pale from left to right
A hundred bridges leap from either quay.
Pillared with pride, the city of delight
Sits like an empress by her silver Seine,
Heavy with jewels, all her splendid dower
Flashing upon her, won from shore and main
By shock of combat, sacked from town and tower.

Radio DreyecklandSapphira und das Sklavenmädchen - Willa Cather1940 wurde dieser Roman von Willa Cather erstmals veröffentlicht. Sie zeichnet ein Porträt der Südstaaten am Vorabend des Bürgerkriegs. Die beschriebene Farm ist bei weitem nicht der brutalste Ort für Sklaven. Das Zusammenleben von Freien und Unfreien wird nahezu beschaulich beschrieben. Allerdings kann sich das ganz schnell ändern: Herrin Sapphira verdächtigt die Sklavin Nancy, ein Verhältnis mit ihrem Mann zu haben. Sie greift zu fiesen Mitteln. Tina Bolg hält das Buch nicht gerade für eine engagierte Anti-Sklavereischrift. Aber vom Kitschroman ist er trotzdem meilenweit entfernt:
