Willa Cather and Others

"Willa Cather and Others" is an elegant book, the most sophisticated treatment yet of gender and sexuality in Cather's work. In writing about the elusive beauty of Cather's work, Goldberg manages to capture its beauty without losing the sense of elusiveness it creates."--Michael Warner, author of "The Trouble With Normal"

Riassunto

With a focus on Willa Cather's artistic principle of "the thing not named," this book illuminates the contradictions and complexities inherent in notions of identity and shows how her fiction transforms the very categories-regarding gender, sexuality, race, and class-around which most recent Cather scholarship has focused.
