Hailed by reviewers and readers for its originality, vitality, and
truth, "My Antonia" secured Willa Cather's place in the first rank
of American writers. Cather drew deeply on her childhood days in
frontier Nebraska for her fourth novel, published in 1918. Antonia
Shimerda is memorable as the warm-hearted daughter of Bohemians who
must adapt to a hard life on the desolate prairie. She survives and
matures, a pioneer woman made radiant by spirit. This Willa Cather
Scholarly Edition of "My Antonia" is edited according to standards
set by the Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language
Association and it presents the full range of biographical,
historical, and textual information on the novel. The selection of
W. T. Benda's illustrations and the historical photography and maps
also illuminate the fiction of a writer who drew so extensively on
actual experience.
