An infamous clause in Willa Cather's will, forbidding publication
of her letters and other papers, has long caused consternation
among Cather scholars. For Cather, a complex and private person who
seldom made revelatory public pronouncements, personal letters
provide-or would provide-an especially valuable key to
understanding. But because of the terms of her will, that key is
not readily available. Cather's letters will not come into public
domain until the year 2017. Until then, even quotation, let alone
publication in full, is prohibited.
Janis P. Stout has gathered over eighteen hundred of Cather's
letters--all the letters currently known to be available--and
provides a brief summary of each, as well as a biographical
directory identifying correspondents and a multisection index of
the widely scattered letters organized by location, by
correspondent, and by names and titles mentioned. This book will be
an essential resource for Cather scholars.
