Willa Cather and the American Southwest

Willa Cather and the American Southwest

The American Southwest was arguably as formative a landscape for Willa Catherâ€™s aesthetic vision as was her beloved Nebraska. Both landscapes elicited in her a sense of raw incompleteness. They seemed not so much finished places as things unassembled, more like countries â€œstill waiting to be made into [a] landscape.â€ Catherâ€™s fascination with the Southwest led to its presence as a significant setting in three of her most ambitious novels: The Song of the Lark, The Professorâ€™s House, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. This volume focuses a sharp eye on how the landscape of the American Southwest served Cather creatively and the ways it shaped her research and productivity. No single scholarly methodology prevails in the essays gathered here, giving the volume rare depth and complexity.
