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.
