- Summary:
- Among Cather's lush descriptions of the Midwestern American landscape in "My Antonia are gems of prose like this: "That is happiness; to be dissolved into something complete and great. When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep." Cather's simple, eloquent novel tells the story of the Bohemian girl Antonia and her communion with the harsh, unforgiving land, the only source of true happiness she knows. This new volume includes critical reviews and discussion questions. Gordon Tapper is Assistant Professor of English at DePauw University. Tapper has published numerous reviews and articles, and Routledge will publish his dissertation "The Machine that Sings: Modernism, Hart Crane, and the Culture of the Body in 2003.
