Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 – April 24, 1947) was an American author who grew up in Nebraska. She is best known for her depictions offrontier life on the Great Plains in novels such as O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, and The Song of the Lark.
Cather received both national and state honors. In 1973, the United States Postal Service honored Willa Cather by using her image on a postage stamp. In 1981 the US Mint created the Willa Cather medallion, a half-ounce gold coin. Cather was elected to the Nebraska Hall of Fame. In 1986, Cather was inducted into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. Her alma mater, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, named residence halls after both Cather and her college friend Louise Pound. Pound had a lifelong career as professor of English at the university and was the first woman president of the Modern Language Association. Wikipedia |
Works of Willa Cather
This completes the books I have of Willa Cather. All were obtained from Project Gutenberg Australia. Any errors are mine.
Willa Cather is a smooth and deceptively simple writer. I hope others will enjoy her as much as I. Charlie |
Why does the color of the font change color several times? It seems to go to blue whenever there is a single line paragraph in italic and changes back to black a few pages later.
