0380496763 One of the great American novelists of the twentieth century has been brought to vivid life by scholar and biographer, Edward K. Brown, in WILLA CATHER. The biography traces Will Cather's life as it was illuminated by her art---from her lifelong fascination with Nebraska and the Southwest, where she found the beauty and raw power that inspired O PIONEERS! and MY ANTONIA, to the compelling religious experiences that influenced THE PROFESSOR'S HOUSE and DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP. Completed by the award-winning biographer Leon Edel following Brown's sudden death, WILL CATHER: A Critical Bigoraphy brilliantly chronicles the life and spirit of one of America's great woman writers. Spine well-broken, but covers very clean. Foxing on front page.
