Extractions: In her life and work, Willa Cather is remembered as a pioneer much like the women, artists, and immigrants she chronicled in her fiction. Determined to have her voice heard, Cather ignored conventional notions of a woman's place in society, living an independent life and remaining true to her artistic vision. Her descriptive skill, insight into human character, and precise prose style have earned her a place among the great writers of America. Cather spent the first 10 years of her life in Back Creek, Virginia, where her father made a living raising sheep on his father's farm. In 1883, the family relocated to Nebraska, where her grandparents had already established a new farm. In 1884, her father moved the family to the prairie town of Red Cloud, where Cather spent the rest of her childhood. Although the town was small her high school graduating class had only three students it left an indelible mark on Cather's imagination. The open prairies and the immigrant people who settled there are featured in no fewer than seven of her books. In 1891, Cather entered the University of Nebraska. During her first year, a professor submitted her essay on Thomas Carlyle for publication in a Lincoln newspaper. Cather later recalled that seeing her name in print had a "hypnotic effect." Following graduation, she accepted a job in Pittsburgh, editing the

Jonathan Bowman, a medical student from Chicago, comes to Bernadotte, Illinois, in 1900 to help out old Dr. Middleton until a full time, licensed physician can be found for the community.

Spoon River Johnny is an unpretentious and detailed rendering of small town life in west central Illinois from 1900 to the 1940s. Although it will never win the plaudits of a literary critic, the novel will be attractive to readers who remember the times and wish to reminisce. 342.

Extractions: Willa Cather (1873-1947) was one of America's finest novelists. Her reputation rests on her novels about Nebraska and the American Southwest. In them, she expressed a deep love of the land and a strong distaste for the materialism and conformism she saw in modern life. She showed a genuine devotion to traditional valuesthe importance of family, human dignity, hope, and courage. Cather also demonstrated a strong willingness to question customary ways of thinking and feeling, especially by creating strong female characters who have strength and determination of a sort that earlier writers had credited only to men. Cather wrote 12 novels, of which My Antonia (1918) and Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) rank as the best. My Antonia describes how an immigrant farm girl triumphs over hardship in pioneer Nebraska. Death Comes for the Archbishop is a historical novel about the work of the first Roman Catholic archbishop in the New Mexico Territory.

"That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great," she said. Cather was raised on a farm in Webster County, Nebraska and described the vibrant countryside as the " happiness and the curse" of her life. "The end is nothing; the road is all," she said and believed in striving for excellence always. She published her first short story in 1892 and became a teacher of high school English and Latin. "Nothing really matters but living." she said. " Accomplishments are the ornaments of life , they come second." Cather's rich writing, in

Extractions: Death Comes for the Archbishop Willa Cather is an interesting author for this course in that she might be included in each of our four primary cultural perspectives. As an important woman writer, she has attracted a hugh scholarly focus, and thus fits in our category of gender. I was unfamiliar with her word prior to preparing for this course, and I read Death Comes for the Archbishop because I thought that, in addition to fitting under "gender," she might also be important for our focus on religion. And I think Death does raise important questions of the religious colonization of American Indians. As such, of course, it also raises questions of ethnicity/race. Then, in searching for literature on sexual orientation for this course, I found her story, "Tommy, the Unsentimental" is more than one anthology. In Chloe Plus Olivia: An Anthology of Lesbian Literature from the Seventeenth Century to the Present , Lillian Faderman even claims that None of Cather's works deal specifically with lesbian relationships, though many critics have pointed out that her male characters are often women in drag, and that novels such as
