Summary
The story of a Bohemian girl in a Nebraska town depicts life in a desolate area and the adaptation of immigrants to American life
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
âWilla Cather called My Ãntonia âthe best thing Iâve done.â For Oliver Wendell Holmes, My Ãntonia had âunfailing charm, perhaps not to be defined; a beautiful tenderness, a vivifying imagination that transforms but does not distort or exaggerate.â This novel secured her a place in the first rank of American writers. H. L. Mencken declared it âone of the best [novels] any American has ever done.â
Â
Cather drew deeply on her childhood days in frontier Nebraska for her fourth novel, published in 1918. Old immigrant neighbors inspired many of the characters, particularly the heroine. Ãntonia Shimerda is memorable as the warm-hearted daughter of Bohemians who must adapt to a hard life on the desolate prairie. She survives and matures, a pioneer woman made radiant by spirit.
Â
The Willa Cather Scholarly Edition is faithful to Catherâs intentions for the novel as she prepared it for publication in 1918. W. T. Bendaâs illustrations, omitted in many later reprintings, are included; Cather felt they were an integral part of the novel. The historical essay by James Woodress describes the origin, writing, and reception of the novel. The photographs help illuminate the fiction of a writer who drew extensively on actual experience.
