"The essays in Cather Studies, Volume 8 explore the many locales
and cultures informing Willa Cather's fiction. A lifelong
Francophile, Cather first visited France in 1902 and returned
repeatedly throughout her life. Her visits to France influenced not
only her writing but also her interpretation of other worlds; for
example, while visiting the American Southwest in 1912, a region
that informed her subsequent works, she first viewed that landscape
through the prism of her memories of Provence. Cather's
intellectual intercourse between the Old and the New World was a
two-way street, moving both people and cultural mores between the
two. But her worlds extended far beyond France, or even
geographical locations. This new volume pairs Cather innovatively
with additional influences---theological, aesthetic, even
gastronomical---and examines her as tourist and traveler cautiously
yet assiduoulsy exploring a diverse range of palces, ethnicities,
and professions."--BOOK JACKET.
