Renowned for their spirited portrayals of pioneer life on the austere Nebraska prairie, Willa Cather's novels--such as O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Antonia--carry Cather's trademark strong women characters, intimate knowledge of the midwestern landscape, and lean, supple prose. In the course of her 40-year writing career, Cather published a dozen novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning One of Ours. In this revision Philip Gerber refines and updates his seminal 1975 study, bringing fresh insights to Cather biography and criticism.
