One of the great American novelists of the twentieth century has been brought to vivid life by scholar and biographer, Edward K. Brown. The biography traces Willa Cather's life as it was illuminated by her art-from her lifelong fascination with Nebraska and the Southwest, where she found beauty and raw power that inspired O Pioneers! and My Antonia, to the compelling religious experiences that influenced The Professor's House and Death Comes for the Archbishop.
