Her dedication to scholarship on Willa Cather helped solidify Cather in the pantheon of great American writers. We’re joined for this discussion by neglected books champion Brad Bi...

Homestead about her book, The Only Wonderful Things: The Creative Partnership of Willa Cather & Edith Lewis, which sheds new light on the life and works of a great twentieth century novelist.

Great American Novel
Homing in on the Prairie with Willa Cather's My Ántonia
Send 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...

What would Willa Cather's widely read and cherished novels have looked like if she had never met magazine editor and copywriter Edith Lewis? In this groundbreaking book on Cather's relationship with her life partner, author Melissa J. Homestead counters the established portrayal of Cather as a solitary genius and reassesses the role that Lewis, who has so far been rendered largely invisible by scholars, played in shaping Cather's work. Inviting Lewis to share the spotlight alongside this pivotal American writer, Homestead argues that Lewis was not just Cather's companion but also her close literary collaborator and editor....

Sapphira und das Sklavenmädchen - Willa Cather
1940 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:
