adam_text | Willa
Cather s fiction
frequently
plays out on the divide, the
high prairie land of Nebraska, where
the author herself lived as a child. This
book suggests that Cather s own life
played out on a divide as well, deliber¬
ately measured out between different
roles and
personae
that made their way
into her writing.
On the Oivide analyzes the iconic
image that Cather helped develop for
herself, in contrast to the anonymous
face she adopted for promotional activi¬
ties and the very different private self
she shared only with friends and family.
Delving into Cather s correspondence
and the little-known promotional ma¬
terial she produced anonymously, David
Porter provides new insight into the
extent
—
and direction
—
of her control.
He also considers the contrasting influ¬
ences of Mary Baker Eddy, whose bi¬
ography Cather ghostwrote, and Sarah
Orne Jewett
on the author s emerging
artistic
persona.
The study goes on to
explore the many ways in which these
divides in Gather s lire found expres¬
sion in her writing. Extending from
Gather s early stories to her final novel,
Porter s book documents the degree to
which Gather s understanding of her
own different and often-conflicting
sides, and of her penchant for playing
to create characters so torn, so complex,
and so profoundly human.

Willa
Cather's fiction
frequently
plays out on "the divide," the
high prairie land of Nebraska, where
the author herself lived as a child. This
book suggests that Cather's own life
played out on a divide as well, deliber¬
ately measured out between different
roles and
personae
that made their way
into her writing.
On the Oivide analyzes the iconic
image that Cather helped develop for
herself, in contrast to the anonymous
face she adopted for promotional activi¬
ties and the very different private self
she shared only with friends and family.
Delving into Cather's correspondence
and the little-known promotional ma¬
terial she produced anonymously, David
Porter provides new insight into the
extent
—
and direction
—
of her control.
He also considers the contrasting influ¬
ences of Mary Baker Eddy, whose bi¬
ography Cather ghostwrote, and Sarah
Orne Jewett
on the author's emerging
artistic
persona.
The study goes on to
explore the many ways in which these
"divides" in Gather's lire found expres¬
sion in her writing. Extending from
Gather's early stories to her final novel,
Porter's book documents the degree to
which Gather's understanding of her
own different and often-conflicting
sides, and of her penchant for playing
to create characters so torn, so complex,
and so profoundly human. |
