The novels O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia made
Willa Cather's reputation and, though published separately, are
now studied together as Willa Cather’s Great Plains
Trilogy. These three novels, set in Nebraska and Colorado, cemented
Cather’s reputation in the early 1920s as a writer who exalted
the lives of ordinary people. Together, these novels portray the
magnificent prairie landscape and the indomitable spirit of the men
and women who inhabited, and adapted, to its harsh beauty: My
Ántonia: The intertwined stories of Jim Burden, an orphan from
Virginia, and the elder daughter in a family of Czech immigrants,
Ántonia Shimerda, who are each brought to Nebraska as children. O
Pioneers!: The Bergsons move from Sweden and struggle to carve out
a living on their Nebraska homestead. The eldest daughter,
Alexandra, inherits the farm when her father dies, and devotes her
life to its success even as other immigrant families leave the
prairie, defeated. The Song of the Lark: Thea Kronborg grows up in
a small Colorado town, next to the railroad that connects her to a
wider world, a world she will conquer with her glorious voice
and strength of will.
