Engineer Bartley Alexander appears to have a happy life in Boston
with a successful career and a beautiful wife. He has been
commissioned to design the Moorlock Bridge in Canada, the most
important project of his career. With the onset of middle age,
however, he grows increasingly restless and discontented, so much
so that while in London he recklessly reignites a love affair with
the sweetheart of his youth, the Irish actress Hilda Borgoyne.
Although the tryst allows Alexander to recapture an element that
has been missing from his pedestrian life, the relationship
torments his sense of morality and eventually proves disastrous.
"Alexander's Bridge" explores the demands of Gilded Age society on
the individual, as well as the capacity of the individual to
violate his own standards of integrity. This Willa Cather Scholarly
Edition provides an illuminating new framework for Cather's debut
novel. The novel is edited according to standards set by the
Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association
and presents the full range of biographical, historical, and
textual information now available, complete with illustrations and
maps.
