About this title

Review:

"This scholarly edition does justice to Cather's notoriously particular production requirements. The material and editorial quality of the book meets very high standards, with the paper, the visual presentation of the words on the page, the rigor of the editing and proofreading, the thoroughness of the notes, and the detailed explanation of editorial decisions all illustrating impeccable scholarship. The historical essay and the illustrations provide useful information. . . . This volume stands as a model of scrupulous, indeed loving, scholarship. It offers a fully elaborated, beautiful text that even Cather, despite her effort to bury the book, might be proud to acknowledge."-Great Plains Quarterly * Great Plains Quarterly *

Book Description:

In this, her first novel, Willa Cather sympathetically explores the struggle between opposing sides of the self - something that was to become a hallmark of her craft.
