A WILLA CATHER COLLECTION By RICHARD CARY s the end of the past decade approached, the Division of A Rare Books and Manuscripts in the Colby College Library did not harbor any appreciable amount of Willa Cather memo­ rabilia among its more than fifty special author collections. Apart from her basal value as possibly the best of America's female novelists, there were at least two reasons why her works might have been included: 1) she is buried in nearby Jaffrey, New Hampshire, thus providing us a regional claim; 2) she was a protegee and avowed disciple of Sarah Orne Jewett, without peer Maine's most perceptive delineatrist. This consociation in­ spired Miss Cather to dedicate 0 Pioneers! "To the memory of Sarah Orne Jewett, in whose beautiful and delicate work there is the perfection that endures"; and to compile The Best Stories of Sarah Orne Jewett (Boston, 1925), in the preface of which she declared: "If I were asked to name three American books which have the possibility of a long, long life, I would say at once, The Scarlet Letter, Huckleberry Finn, and The Country of the Pointed Firs." Despite these compelling motivations, only a few fugitive items of secondary bearing and several letters, de­ sultorily donated, marked the extent of our Cather holdings­ until 1959. In the waning months of that year Mr. Patrick J. Ferry of Valhalla, New York, casually mentioned in one of his letters to the Curator that he had a "rather good" accumulation of Cather books which he was thinking of contributing to Colby. Over the years Mr. Ferry had demonstrated incisive interest in our col­ lections, frequently sending choice and scarce editions of, prin­ cipally, Thomas Hardy, A. E. Housman, Jewett, and other Maine authors. By December 1959 Mr. Ferry came to his de- _ Published by Digital Commons @ Colby, 1968 1 Colby Quarterly, Vol. 8, Iss. 2 [1968], Art. 6 Colby Library Quarterly 83 CISlon, and cartons of Cather materials began arriving. Within three months the individual total had mounted to some three hundred items. And that was not the end. In the interim Mr. Ferry has continued to hunt up and remand to us titles that had previously eluded him and all new relevant publications. Our Cather collection is now in excess of four hundred items. With minimal exceptions of gifts from the University of Berlin and the Colby Library Associates, it is the magnanimous construc­ tion of Patrick J. Ferry, and we are pleased to acknowledge our gratitude. No attempt will be made here to list every particular of this impressive treasury. Outside of Miss Cather's own writings, only the more uncommon or potentially useful items are tabulated, with the object of informing scholars of their presence and availability.

  • Corruption of the Characters in Willa Cather's a Lost Lady
    Journal of Literature, Languages and Linguistics www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8435 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.51, 2018 Corruption of the Characters in Willa Cather’s A Lost Lady Dewi Nurnani Puppetry Department, Faculty of Performing Arts, Indonesia Institute of Arts, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, 57126 email: [email protected] Abstract This writing studies about corruption of the characters in the novel entitled A Lost Lady by Willa Cather. The mimetic approach is used to analyze this novel. So in creating art, an author is much influenced by the social condition of society in which he lives or creates, directly or indirectly. It can be learned that progression does not always make people happy but often it brings difficulties and even disaster in their lives. It is also found that the corruption in the new society happens because the characters are unable to endure their passionate nature as well as to adapt with the changing.To anticipate the changing, one must have a strong mentality among other things, by religion or a good education in order that he does not fall into such corruption as the characters in A Lost Lady . Keywords : corruption, ambition, passionate, new values, old values 1. Background of The Study Willa Sibert Cather, an American novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist, and poet, was born on December 7, 1983 near Winchester, Virginia, in the fourth generation of an Anglo-Irish family. Her father, Charles F. Cather, and her mother, Mary Virginia Cather, and also their family moved to the town of red Cloud, Nebraska, when she was nine years old.

  • EMPIRICAL TESTS of COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J
    0001-0044_BUCCAFUSCO_081313_WEB (DO NOT DELETE) 8/13/2013 4:50 PM DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WORKS ENTER THE PUBLIC DOMAIN?: EMPIRICAL TESTS OF COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION Christopher Buccafusco† & Paul J. Heald †† ABSTRACT According to the current copyright statute, copyrighted works of music, film, and literature will begin to transition into the public domain in 2018. While this will prove a boon for users and creators, it could be disastrous for the owners of these valuable copyrights. Therefore, the next few years will likely witness another round of aggressive lobbying by the film, music, and publishing industries to extend the terms of already-existing works. These industries, and a number of prominent scholars, claim that when works enter the public domain, bad things will happen to them. They worry that works in the public domain will be underused, overused, or tarnished in ways that will undermine the works’ economic and cultural value. Although the validity of their assertions turns on empirically testable hypotheses, very little effort has been made to study them. This Article attempts to fill that gap by studying the market for audiobook recordings of bestselling novels, a multi-million dollar industry. Data from this study, which includes a novel human-subjects experiment, suggest that term-extension proponents’ claims about the public domain are suspect. Audiobooks made from public domain bestsellers (1913–22) are significantly more available than those made from copyrighted bestsellers (1923–32). In addition, the experimental evidence suggests that professionally made recordings of public domain and copyrighted books are of similar quality. Finally, while a low quality recording seems to lower a listener’s valuation of the underlying work, the data do not suggest any correlation between that valuation and the legal status of the underlying work.
