Book Description

Publication Date: July 1990

Willa Cather’s Modernism challenges the assumption that Cather was an old-fashioned exponent of styles of fiction,
demonstrating instead that Cather was clearly aware of the experimentation within the modernist movement. Illustrative
chapters deal with three central novels: A Lost Lady, The Professor’s House, and My Mortal Enemy.

5.0 out of 5 stars WIlla would be proud!, July 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Willa Cather's Modernism: A Study of Style and Technique (Hardcover)

As a student of literature, I found this to be an insightful and delightful investigation into the works of one of America's least understood authors. Willa Cather's works, as Middleton points out, lead directly into the Modernist genre. Jo Ann Middleton has constructed an excellent analysis of this too often overlooked American author. Drawing on Cather's uniques writing style, Middleton explains Cather's techniques and style in a manner that is beneficial for literature scholar and neophyte alike.
