"I sometimes think The Professor's House is Cather's masterpiece. It is almost perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original." -- A.S. Byatt, The Guardian .......... The Professor's House, combining as it does a profound study of individual consciousness with a tragic meditation on the nature of (especially American) civilization, deserves to be seen as one of the greatest and most relevant of the novels of the old century." -- Donald Lyons, The New Centerion
