    Extractions: Titles in Fiction category: Titles in Short Stories category: American novelist noted for her novels about immigrants struggling to make a living in the Midwest during the late 1800s. Various critics have placed Cather among feminist writers, antifeminist writers, and even lesbian writers. She authored 12 novels, the most popular of which include My Antonia O Pioneers! The Song of the Lark (1915), and Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927). In her works Cather created strong female characters, who had the courage and vision to face all obstacles in their difficult lives. Willa Cather was born in Back Creek Valley (now Gore), near Winchester, Virginia. At the age of nine she moved with her family to a farm near Red Clour, in the Nebraska settler country. There she grew up among the immigrants from Europe, most of them coming from Scandinavia, who were establishing homesteads on the Great Plains. This milieu, wide opren spaces with its people forms the background for half of Cather's novels and many short stories depicting the frontier life on the American plains. The new ranch was not a success, and in 1884 the family moved to the small railroad town of Red Cloud, where Cather's father opened an insurance business. Cather was educated at home, and later she attended Red Cloud High School. From an early age, Cather was troubled by her sexual identity. She preferred to dress in men's clothing and as a teenages she began signing her name "William Cather, Jr." and later Dr. Will." Cather also was active in community theater productions and often took male roles.

    Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Willa Cather (1873-1947) Index Cather, another Virginian, grew up on the Nebraska prairie among pioneering immigrants later immortalized in O Pioneers! My Antonia (1918), and her well-known story "Neighbour Rosicky" (1928). During her lifetime she became increasingly alienated from the materialism of modern life and wrote of alternative visions in the American Southwest and in the past. Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) evokes the idealism of two 16th-century priests establishing the Catholic Church in the New Mexican desert. Cather's works commemorate important aspects of the American experience outside the literary mainstream pioneering, the establishment of religion, and women's independent lives. Index
