As Eric McMillan points out: “Willa Cather is one of those quietly achieving American writers, whose works are quietly appreciated in the shadow of the era’s Great Writers … but going on a century later, are still being quietly appreciated when many of the once great ones are no longer read” (§1, 2013-05-02). From the time of the westward pioneering, America’s rise to world power, the Depression to the Second World War, Cather lived through the most significant time of American history. However, her works are centered on Nebraska and the American Southwest. She herself grew up in Nebraska, thus the pioneers and their lives in the area became a main source of inspiration to her. Cather had a strong emotional tie to her childhood and she seemed to think that childhood is the best years of a person’s life. -
An Association Copy of Note: Willa Cather's Copy of Aucassin & Nicolete
An Association Copy of Note: Willa Cather’s copy of Aucassin & Nicolete From 1896 to 1906 the renown American writer and novelist, Willa Cather, resided in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Twelve novels with now more or less familiar titles like O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and Death comes for the Archbishop (1927) thrilled American readers. Long before her novels, however, there were more modest achievements such as her first and only book of poetry, April Twilights (1903), her first collection of short story fiction, The Troll Garden (1905) and her work as editor of Home Monthly, the magazine which brought her to Pittsburgh in the first place. In 1898 she began work at the Pittsburgh Daily Leader but then in 1901 she took a job teaching high school students in Pittsburgh. Teaching would not become her mainstay and by 1906 she was ready to move on to a job at McClure’s Magazine in New York City which eventually would lead to her becoming its managing editor. McClure’s was one of America’s most successful and popular literary magazines, and it was while in New York that Cather would meet her lifelong companion, Edith Lewis. But wait, we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves. It’s those Pittsburgh years that are of the most direct concern for this brief essay. Willa Cather often referred to Pittsburgh as the “birthplace” of her writing career, and the very reason why the essay exists at all is because of a little book found from those natal literary years. We have to go back to September 18, 2012 when I came across the notice from an upper Mid-Western book dealer advertised a little Mosher book which he said was from Willa Cather’s library: Aucassin & Nicolete. -
