Download or read book A Calendar of the Letters of Willa Cather written by Willa Cather and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An infamous clause in Willa Cather's will, forbidding publication of her letters and other papers, has long caused consternation among Cather scholars. For Cather, a complex and private person who seldom made revelatory public pronouncements, personal letters provide-or would provide-an especially valuable key to understanding. But because of the terms of her will, that key is not readily available. Cather's letters will not come into public domain until the year 2017. Until then, even quotation, let alone publication in full, is prohibited. Janis P. Stout has gathered over eighteen hundred of Cather's letters--all the letters currently known to be available--and provides a brief summary of each, as well as a biographical directory identifying correspondents and a multisection index of the widely scattered letters organized by location, by correspondent, and by names and titles mentioned. This book will be an essential resource for Cather scholars.
Book Synopsis The Selected Letters of Willa Cather by : Willa Cather
Download or read book The Selected Letters of Willa Cather written by Willa Cather and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first publication of the letters of one of America’s most consistently admired writers is both an exciting and a significant literary event. Willa Cather, wanting to be judged on her work alone, clearly forbade the publication of her letters in her will. But now, more than sixty-five years after her death, with her literary reputation as secure as a reputation can be, the letters have become available for publication. The 566 letters collected here, nearly 20 percent of the total, range from the funny (and mostly misspelled) reports of life in Red Cloud in the 1880s that Cather wrote as a teenager, through those from her college years at the University of Nebraska, her time as a journalist in Pittsburgh and New York, and during her growing eminence as a novelist. Postcards and letters describe her many travels around the United States and abroad, and they record her last years in the 1940s, when the loss of loved ones and the disasters of World War II brought her near to despair. Written to family and close friends and to such luminaries as Sarah Orne Jewett, Robert Frost, Yehudi Menuhin, Sinclair Lewis, and the president of Czechoslovakia, Thomas Masaryk, they reveal her in her daily life as a woman and writer passionately interested in people, literature, and the arts in general. The voice heard in these letters is one we already know from her fiction: confident, elegant, detailed, openhearted, concerned with profound ideas, but also at times funny, sentimental, and sarcastic. Unfiltered as only intimate communication can be, they are also full of small fibs, emotional outbursts, inconsistencies, and the joys and sorrows of the moment. The Selected Letters is a deep pleasure to read and to ponder, sure to appeal to those with a special devotion to Cather as well as to those just making her acquaintance.

This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting "The Essential Willa Cather: O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, My �ntonia, and One of Ours with an Introduction by Nicholas Tamblyn, and Illustrations by Katherine Eglund." This collection is part of The Essential Series by Golding Books.Much of Willa Cather's writing evokes nostalgic memories of growing up on the American plains. Her stories describe the smallness of people in the landscape but their largeness to each other--particularly through the force of the past and memory--and for those characters who have come to settle from far away are the inescapable feelings of homesickness and of forging their way in a new and not yet fully defined world. The moments and above all the feelings that Cather's novels capture stay with you long after you have read them.Other books in THE ESSENTIAL SERIES by Golding Books include:"The Complete Confucius" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBFGCP2 ("The Analects," "The Doctrine of the Mean," and "The Great Learning")"The Essential Classics for Leaders" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07123JZFP ("Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, and "The Prince" by Niccol� Machiavelli)"The Essential Tales of Horror" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714JKLJC ("Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley, "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde, and "Dracula" by Bram Stoker)"The Essential Tales of Wonder" - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JS731Q ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L.

Book Synopsis Silly Novels by Lady Novelists by : George Eliot
Download or read book Silly Novels by Lady Novelists written by George Eliot and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essay, originally published anonymously in The Westminster Review (1856), George Eliot examines the state of women's fiction in her time. She lamentingly argues that absurd and banal novels, written by well-to-do women of her time, do great disservice for the overall appreciation of women's intellectual capacities. Eliot divides 'silly novels by lady novelists' into several distinct categories: the mind-and-millinery species, the oracular type and the white-neck-cloth variety. She writes with characteristic sharp wit and insightful intellect in this scathing (but not unfeeling) feminist critique of 'Silly Novels by Lady Novelists'. This edition includes illustrations from the books critiqued by Eliot, along with annotations. George Eliot (Marian/Mary Ann Evans) was born in Warwickshire England in 1819. She went on to become one of England's most astute nineteenth century writers. Eliot is the author of celebrated novels including Adam Bede (1859), Middlemarch (1871-1872) and Daniel Deronda (1876). She also published non-fiction essays, poems and short stories, and was a skilled translator of German-language philosophy, including works by Strauss, Feuerbach and Spinoza. Eliot's writing is characterised by gritty realism entwined with deep empathy and keen insight into human life and ethics. Sarah Bacaller is a writer, researcher and audiobook producer from Melbourne, Australia.

When their father, John Bergson, grows sick and dies, he leaves the farm in the hands of his eldest daughter Alexandra Bergson. Resourceful and determined, Alexandra devotes her life to her family's farm, determined to prosper even as her neighbors are overwhelmed by the unremitting demands of pioneer life. But when she falls in love with her childhood friend, Carl Linstrum, Alexandra must choose between her duty to the land, and to her heart. A spirited celebration of the immigrants who have shaped the United States, O Pioneers! is a masterpiece by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author.
