Description
A feminist study of one of America's most distinguished modern novelists, focusing on the influence of European culture on her work. The author draws extensively on Cather's unpublished letters and analyzes how she overcame the difficulties which beset her as a woman writer. Cather's novels, now being read by a new generation, illustrate how her absorption with Europe influenced her perception of America.
