Klappentext David Porter is the Tisch Family Distinguished Professor at Skidmore College. He is the author of Virginia Woolf and the Hogarth Press: ¿Riding a Great Horse¿ and Horace¿s Poetic Journey: A Reading of Odes 1¿3. Zusammenfassung Willa Cather's fiction frequently plays out on “the divide”, the high prairie land of Nebraska, where the author herself lived as a child. This book suggests that Cather's own life played out on a divide as well, deliberately measured out between different roles and personae that made their way into her writing.
