In The Song of the Lark, Cather's most autobiographical work, Thea Kronborg emerges as the heroine of her own life. Against formidable familial and social pressures, Kronborg, a minister's daughter from a small Colorado town, makes her way onto a world stage as she fully possesses-and shares-her musical gifts. In choosing her art, she must constantly set aside the pull of home as well as romantic interests to pursue opportunities in Chicago, New York, and Germany. All the while her hometown and its people remain the lodestone and wellspring of her emotional life. In this moving portrait of an artist charting her own path, Cather created one of her most powerful female characters. This Warbler Classics edition is based on the original 1915 edition and includes an extensive biographical timeline.
Autorenporträt
Willa Sibert Cather is well-known for her Great Plains-set books, such as O Pioneers! The Song of the Lark, and My ntonia. Her novel One of Ours, which takes place during World War I, won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. When Willa Cather was nine years old, her family relocated from Virginia to Webster County, Nebraska. Afterwards, the family made Red Cloud, Minnesota, their home. Cather spent ten years in Pittsburgh after earning her degree from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, where she worked as a high school English teacher and magazine editor to support herself. She made her lifelong home in New York City when she moved there at the age of 33, though she also traveled extensively and made frequent trips to her summer house on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. She lived her final 39 years with Edith Lewis, her domestic partner, before receiving a breast cancer diagnosis and passing away from a brain hemorrhage. Beside her, in a Jaffrey, New Hampshire, plot, lies Lewis. As a novelist of the frontier and pioneer experience, Cather attained prominence.
