摘要
摘要
Marian Forrester is the symbolic flower of the Old American West. She draws her strength from that solid foundation, bringing delight and beauty to her elderly husband, to the small town of Sweet Water where they live, to the prairie land itself, and to the young narrator of her story, Neil Herbert. All are bewitched by her brilliance and grace, and all are ultimately betrayed. For Marian longs for "life on any terms," and in fulfilling herself, she loses all she loved and all who loved her. This, Willa Cather's most perfect novel, is not only a portrait of a troubling beauty, but also a haunting evocation of a noble age slipping irrevocably into the past.

In her 1922 essay "The Novel Demeuble," Cather complained that the modern novel was "overfurnished"; in contrast, she pared her own fiction from that period to its essentials. This 1923 novel is among the best examples of Cather's experiment with minimalism and one of her finest works overall. As such, it deserves an edition produced to the highest standards of textual scholarship. It has found one here. Like the preceding two titles in the "Willa Cather Scholarly Edition" series (O Pioneers!, CH, Jun'93, and My Antonia, 1994, both ed. by Susan Rosowski and Mignon with Kathleen Danker), this volume is a gift to all Cather readers; for critics, it presents the text on which interpretations of the novel should be based. The textual editing, literary scholarship, and editorial writing are first-rate; the book design is elegant. Textual and historical essays add significantly to James Woodress's treatment of the novel's background and composition in Willa Cather: A Literary Life (CH, Jun'88). Placement of illustrations (18 pages), explanatory notes, and textual apparatus at the back of the book allows for a readable, clear-text format. Affordability makes paperbacks the choice for classrooms, but a scholarly edition such as this provides a far more reliable and informative text. Highly recommended for all academic libraries. M. J.

Published in 1923, this Cather classic depicts the encroachment of civilization that supplanted the pioneer spirit of Nebraska's frontier as seen through the eyes of protagonist Marian Forrester. This superb scholarly edition contains 21 archival photographs, a historical essay, and explanatory notes. Pricey, but it offers a lot, especially for academics. (c) Copyright 2010.
