Informationen zum Autor Guy J. Reynolds is a professor of English at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the director of the Cather Project. He is the author of Apostles of Modernity: American Writers in the Age of Development (Nebraska, 2008) and Willa Cather in Context: Progress, Race, Empire, as well as a former general editor of the Willa Cather Scholarly Edition series. Klappentext Informed by new modes of contextualization, including the increasingly popular view of Willa Cather as a pivotal or transitional figure working between and across very different cultural periods, and by the recent publication of Cather’s correspondence, the essays in this collection reassess Cather’s lifelong encounter with, and interpretation and reimagining of, the arts. Zusammenfassung Over the five decades of her writing career, Willa Cather responded to, and entered into dialogue with, shifts in the terrain of American life. Cather Studies, Volume 12 shows that Cather repeatedly engaged with multiple forms of art, and that even when writing about the past she was often addressing contemporary questions.
