Willa Cather wrote about the places she knew, including Nebraska,
New Mexico, New York, and Virginia. Often forgotten among these
essential locations has been Pittsburgh. During the ten years
Pittsburgh was her home (1896-1906), Cather worked as an editor,
journalist, teacher, and freelance writer. She mixed with all sorts
of people and formed friendships both ephemeral and lasting. She
published extensively-and not just profiles and reviews but also a
collection of poetry, April Twilights, and more than thirty short
stories, including several collected in The Troll Garden that are
now considered masterpieces: "A Death in the Desert," "The
Sculptor's Funeral," "A Wagner Matinee," and "Paul's Case." During
extended working vacations through 1916, she finished four novels
in Pittsburgh. Cather Studies, Volume 13 explores the myriad ways
that these crucial years in Pittsburgh shaped Cather's writing
career and the artistic, professional, and personal connections she
made there. With contributions from fourteen well-known Cather
scholars, this collection of essays recognizes the importance
Pittsburgh played in Cather's life and work and deepens our
appreciation of how her art examines and elucidates the human
experience.
