A Collection of Short Stories
ByPublisher Description
Although Willa Cather began her writing career as a journalist, she became one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century. Cather's works are marked by their nostalgic tone. The themes are often drawn from memories of her early years on the American plains. A sense of place is integral to her work. Cather wrote of both the beauty and terror of life. Homelessness and exile are two topics that have been taken up by her in many of her works. Notions of land, the frontier, pioneering, the nascent women's movement, and relationships with western landscapes are recurrent in her works. This book features a collection of Cather's short stories, including Peter, On the Divide, Eric Hermannson's Soul, The Sentimentality of William Tavener, The Namesake, The Enchanted Bluff, The Joy of Nelly Deane, The Bohemian Girl, Consequences, The Bookkeeper's Wife, Ardessa, and Her Boss.
