Linking Willa Cather to "the modern" or "modernism" still seems an
eccentric proposition to some people. Born in 1873, Cather felt
tied to the past when she witnessed the emergence of
twentieth-century modern culture, and the clean, classical
sentences in her fiction contrast starkly with the radically
experimental prose of prominent modernists. Nevertheless, her
representations of place in the modern world reveal Cather as a
writer able to imagine a startling range of different
cultures.
Divided into two sections, the essays in "Cather Studies," "Volume
9" examine Willa Cather as an author with an innovative receptivity
to modern cultures and a powerful affinity with the visual and
musical arts. From the interplay between modern and antimodern in
her representations of native culture to the music and visual arts
that animated her imagination, the essays are unified by an
understanding of Cather as a writer of transition whose fiction
meditates on the cultural movement from Victorianism into the
twentieth century.
