Cather Studies, Volume 12 by Cather Studies
Informed by new modes of contextualization, including the increasingly popular view of Willa Cather as a pivotal or transitional figure working between and across very different cultural periods, and by the recent publication of Cather's correspondence, the essays in this collection reassess Cather's lifelong encounter with, and interpretation and reimagining of, the arts.
"Willa Cather and the Arts reveals a writer deeply embedded in, and curious about, her geographical, historical, and cultural moment"-Maura D'Amore, Great Plains Quarterly "The collected essays within volume 12 of Cather Studies offer an invaluable addition to every Cather scholar's library-just as it presents fresh and readable new insights for the more casual Cather enthusiast."-Kim Vanderlaan, American Literary Realism "A must for Cather readers."-N. Birns, Choice "This twelfth volume of Cather Studies continues an active conversation in Cather scholarship about the writer’s engagement with artistic traditions, such as painting and opera. One solid strength of this particular collection . . . is its expansive definition of the arts in Cather’s work-inclusive of both traditional arts like painting and music as well as domestic arts, Black vernacular in poetry, illustrations, and consumer objects."-Holly Blackford, Western American Literature
