Willa Cather's My Antonia is considered one of the most significant
American novels of the twentieth century. Set during the great
migration west to settle the plains of the North American
continent, the narrative follows Antonia Shimerda, a pioneer who
comes to Nebraska as a child and grows with the country, inspiring
a childhood friend, Jim Burden, to write her life story. The novel
is important both for its literary aesthetic and as a portrayal of
important aspects of American social ideals and history,
particularly the centrality of migration to American culture. The
Broadview edition includes a rich selection of primary source
materials: the revised introduction for the 1926 edition; Cather's
Mesa Verde Wonderland is Easy to Reach Nebraska: The End of the
First Cycle, Peter and her comments on the novel; contemporary
reviews and photographs.
