Willa Sibert Cather 1873-1947 In her life and work, Willa Cather is remembered as a pioneer much like the women, artists, and immigrants she chronicled in her fiction. Determined to have her voice heard, Cather ignored conventional notions of a woman's place in society, living an independent life and remaining true to her artistic vision. Her descriptive skill, insight into human character, and precise prose style have earned her a place among the great writers of America. Cather spent the first 10 years of her life in Back Creek, Virginia, where her father made a living raising sheep on his father's farm. In 1883, the family relocated to Nebraska, where her grandparents had already established a new farm. In 1884, her father moved the family to the prairie town of Red Cloud, where Cather spent the rest of her childhood. Although the town was small her high school graduating class had only three students it left an indelible mark on Cather's imagination. The open prairies and the immigrant people who settled there are featured in no fewer than seven of her books. In 1891, Cather entered the University of Nebraska. During her first year, a professor submitted her essay on Thomas Carlyle for publication in a Lincoln newspaper. Cather later recalled that seeing her name in print had a "hypnotic effect." Following graduation, she accepted a job in Pittsburgh, editing the

I never smell the clover bloom, nor see the swallows pass, Wi'out I mind how good ye were unto a little lass; I never hear the winter rain a-pelting all night through Wi'out I think and mind me of how cold it falls on you. An' if I come not often to your bed beneath the thyme, Mayhap 't is that I'd change wi' ye, and gie my bed for thine, Would like to sleep in thine. I never hear the summer winds among the roses blow Wi'out I wonder why it was ye loved the lassie so. Ye gave me cakes and lollipops and pretty toys a score I never thought I should come back and ask ye now for more. Grandmither, gie me your still white hands that lie upon your breast, For mine do beat the dark all night and never find me rest;

The MacDowell Colony The Writers Willa Sibert Cather Additional Links: The Willa Cather Page Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial The Willa Cather Archive The Willa Cather Site Willa Cather is considered one of the country's foremost novelists. Her writings convey vivid pictures of the American landscape and the people it molded. Born near Winchester, Virginia, Cather at the age of ten, moved with her family to Red Cloud, Nebraska. She graduated from the University of Nebraska before becoming a newspaperwoman and teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She moved to New York City in 1906 to work as an editor on McClure's Magazine. Cather's published works include: a collection of verse, April Twilights (1903); her first published prose was a group of stories, The Troll Garden (1905), and novels, Alexander's Bridge O Pioneers! The Song of the Lark One of Ours (1922; Pulitzer Prize, 1923) and A Lost Lady (1923). The theme of urbanization and the achievements of the pioneers is evident. While continuing to create strong, determined female characters. In Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927), considered by some critics to be Cather's greatest novel, she deals with the missionary experiences of a Roman Catholic bishop among the Native Americans of New Mexico.

Willa Cather - (1873-1947) Back Creek Valley By Lori Lyles Chilhowie High School, Virginia Read another essay on Cather by Nebraska student Rebecca Fowler I. Biography Willa Sibert Cather, the eldest of four children in the Cather family, was born on December 7, 1873. She was born in Back Creek Valley, near Winchester, to Charles F. Cather and Mary Virginia Boak Cather. Her father gave her the name Willela after his younger sister who died as a child. He had a career as a deputy sheriff and Cather's mother was a homemaker. She had two brothers, Roscoe and Douglass, and one sister, Jessica. Cather refused to believe that she was named after her father's sister. Instead, she insisted that she was named after her mother's brother, William Seibert Boak. This led to her nickname, Willie, which stuck with her until her death in 1947. Cather spent most of her early childhood in the Shenandoah Valley, but at the age of nine, she moved with her family to Nebraska. The Cather Family spent two years on a farm in Catherton, Nebraska, which is in Webster County. Following these two years, they decided to move to Red Cloud, Nebraska so the children could attend school. Charles Cather opened up a loan and insurance office and provided services for Red Cloud's population of 2,500 people. Willa Cather was a tomboy right to the core! She had a strong hate for long hair, dresses, and skirts, so she wore trousers and kept her hair very short. Her mother was vain and had a concern with fashion ("Biography"). Willa's behavior in her apparel upset her mother, so her concerns were now focused on turning her daughter into a lady. Willa was very stubborn and refused to change in any way. Finally, her mother gave up on her useless attempts ("Biography").

WILLA CATHER (1873-1947) Willa Sibert Cather came to Red Cloud, Nebraska from Winchester, Virginia in 1883, when she was nine years old, and lived here with her family for six years. The empty landscape was a shock to the young girl who had grown up in green rolling hills, and initially she was homesick, but she came to love this land and its open unspoiled prairie. Cather left in 1890 to attend the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, and though she visited occasionally, she never lived in the West again. Almost all of her work is set on the Plains, though, and several works in Red Cloud itself. Her best known novels include O Pioneers My Antonia (1918), and Death Comes for the Archbishop Her Shadows on the Rock (1931) won the first annual Prix Femina Americaine. One of Ours , a war novel published in 1922, won her the Pulitzer Prize. The Cather family home, built in 1879 and restored in the 1950s, is described in exacting detail in her novel The Song of the Lark (1915). The town of Red Cloud has extensively commemorated her. Left unsaid is the fact that Willa was a lesbian, who when she was fourteen made up a male persona for herself ("William Cather, Jr."), cut her hair to crew-cut length, and liked to wear boy’s clothes, which she did more openly as an adult living in the East.

December 7 ~  Our Eyes Can See A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains Miracles seem to r e s t not so much upon faces or voices or healing power coming suddenly near to us from far o f f but upon our p e r c ep t io n s being made finer so that for a m o m en t our eyes can see and our ears c a n hear that which is about us always." ~ Willa Cather Poet , novelist, and journalist Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947) was born on this day in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Winchester, Virginia, the eldest child of Irish immigrants. She was raised in Nebraska and described the countryside as “the happiness and the curse” of her life. "The end is nothing; the road is all," she said and believed in striving for excellence always. She published her first short story in 1892 and became a teacher of high school English and Latin. "Nothing really matters but living." she said. " Accomplishments are the ornaments of life, they come second." Cather's rich writing, as seen in O Pioneers! The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Antonia (1918), was a celebration of the pioneer spirit and deep love of the land. The stories, which featured strong, spirited female characters, are considered true American classics.

Return to Week Six Options Willa Cather (1873-1947) Bibliography See the Assignments for Tommy, The Unsentimental " (Week Four) Death Comes for the Archbishop Willa Cather is an interesting author for this course in that she might be included in each of our four primary cultural perspectives. As an important woman writer, she has attracted a hugh scholarly focus, and thus fits in our category of gender. I was unfamiliar with her word prior to preparing for this course, and I read Death Comes for the Archbishop because I thought that, in addition to fitting under "gender," she might also be important for our focus on religion. And I think Death does raise important questions of the religious colonization of American Indians. As such, of course, it also raises questions of ethnicity/race. Then, in searching for literature on sexual orientation for this course, I found her story, "Tommy, the Unsentimental" is more than one anthology. In Chloe Plus Olivia: An Anthology of Lesbian Literature from the Seventeenth Century to the Present , Lillian Faderman even claims that None of Cather's works deal specifically with lesbian relationships, though many critics have pointed out that her male characters are often women in drag, and that novels such as

Willa Cather Kate Chopin Dame Agatha Christie Dame Ivy Compton - Burnett ... George Eliot Willa Cather (1873-1947) was one of America's finest novelists. Her reputation rests on her novels about Nebraska and the American Southwest. In them, she expressed a deep love of the land and a strong distaste for the materialism and conformism she saw in modern life. She showed a genuine devotion to traditional valuesthe importance of family, human dignity, hope, and courage. Cather also demonstrated a strong willingness to question customary ways of thinking and feeling, especially by creating strong female characters who have strength and determination of a sort that earlier writers had credited only to men. Cather wrote 12 novels, of which My Antonia (1918) and Death Comes for the Archbishop (1927) rank as the best. My Antonia describes how an immigrant farm girl triumphs over hardship in pioneer Nebraska. Death Comes for the Archbishop is a historical novel about the work of the first Roman Catholic archbishop in the New Mexico Territory. The novel conveys Cather's sense of the sacred in the archbishop's work and also in the natural world. Willa Sibert Cather was born near Winchester, Va., and moved to Nebraska with her family at the age of 9. In 1905, she published her first collection of stories and was hired by
