Born in 1873, Cather felt tied to the past when she witnessed the emergence of twentieth-century modern culture, and the clean, classical sentences in her fiction contrast starkly with the radically experimental prose of prominent modernists. Nevertheless, her representations of place in the modern world reveal Cather as a writer able to imagine a startling range of different cultures. Divided into two sections, the essays in Cather Studies, Volume 9 examine Willa Cather as an author with an innovative receptivity to modern cultures and a powerful affinity with the visual and musical arts. From the interplay between modern and antimodern in her representations of native culture to the music and visual arts that animated her imagination, the essays are unified by an understanding of Cather as a writer of transition whose fiction meditates on the cultural movement from Victorianism into the twentieth century. 410 0$aCather studies ;$v9. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.52 701 $aHomestead$b Melissa J.$f1963-$0860879 701 $aReynolds$b Guy$0850704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461400403321 996 $aWilla Cather and modern cultures$91921051 997 $aUNINA
