Edith Wharton and Willa Cather wrote many of the most enduring American novels from the first half of the twentieth century, including Wharton\u2019s The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, and The Age of Innocence, and Cather\u2019s O Pioneers!, My \u00C1ntonia, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. Yet despite their perennial popularity and their status as major American novelists, Wharton (1862\u20131937) and Cather (1873\u20131947) have rarely been studied together. Indeed, Wharton is seen as \u201Cour literary aristocrat,\u201D an author who chronicles the lives of the East Coast, Europe-bound elite, while Cather is considered a prairie populist who describes the lives of rugged Western pioneers. But these depictions neglect the striking and important ways the works of these two authors intersect.\nThe first comparative study\n\nEdith Wharton, Willa Cather, and the Place of Culture\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mai;
