From the rear cover

In Willa Cather, Revised Edition, Philip Gerber refines and updates his seminal 1975 study, bringing fresh insights to Cather biography and criticism while providing a first-rate survey of the Cather canon. Arranging his material by genre and chronologically, Gerber gives readers an informed overview of the writer's life; examines the early, middle, and final novels; discusses Cather's considerable contributions to short fiction; and synthesizes the wealth of past and present Cather biography and criticism. Afforded special attention are the question of Cather's sexual orientation and the directions in which future Cather scholarship might proceed. A cogent introduction to the life and works of a major figure in American letters, Willa Cather, Revised Edition, will appeal to students at the secondary, college, and graduate levels and to general readers seeking greater understanding of Cather and her writings. Included in the volume are a preface, acknowledgments, chronology, notes and references, selected bibliography, and index.
