In this study, the author offers a re-interpretation of one of America's foremost 20th-century writers.

Born in Virginia in 1873, Willa Cather was uprooted from the landscape her family had farmed for generations, to Nebraska.

The startling transition from ordered life in Virginia to the wild west prairies stirred her imagination and coloured her life and work.

After graduating, she worked as a teacher and journalist, and in 1912 she began to write short stories and novels, winning the Pulitzer Prize just ten years later for "One of Ours".

Travelling beneath the apparently simple surface of Cather's work, Lee presents an illuminating picture of this fascinating writer.
