Both a teacher, a journalist and a critic as well as a writer, Cather plays an important part in the shaping of American modernist thought and writings. Her fiction is unique in its powerful representation of setting and character and rich in its language and imagery. Her style of writing is condensed and subtle, but nonetheless tremendously expressive - precisely as the quote at the top of this This website is an attempt to give a comprehensive introduction to Cather's life and work.

Extractions: April Lucia Barro (d 1992) Spirited struggler for justice. Maya Angelou (April 4, 1928 - ) Maya Angelou was born in St. Louis as Marguerite Johnson. She spent most of her childhood between Stamps, Arkansas, where she lived with her grandmother and St. Louis, Missouri where her mother lived. She attended public schools in California and Arkansas; studied dance with Martha Graham and drama with Frank Silvera. Her grandmother instilled pride and confidence in her but her self image was shattered when, at age 8, her mothers boyfriend raped her. Maya was so devastated by this attack that she didnt speak for five years. By the time she was 16 she regained her self-esteem and was busy caring for her newborn son, Gary, when she decided to begin speaking again. Her experiences during her first 16 years are chronicled in the first volume of her autobiography, "I KNOW WHAT THE CAGED BIRD SINGS". This work also highlights the social and political tensions of the 1930s. The next four volumes of Angelous autobiography continue to trace her spiritual, psychological, and political odyssey. She became a prominent figure in American literature and had extraordinary experiences as she involved herself in the Civil Rights and the Feminist movements both in the United State and Africa, where she spent four years in Ghana. This latter time is covered in her fifth volume in which she becomes aware not only of her African roots but also of the fact that she is distinctly American. Angelous relationship with her son, as well as all of the hardships experienced by the lower class in American society, are recurrent themes in the other four works.

Extractions: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Will(el)a (Siebert) Cather (1873-1947) "She was a good artist, and all true art is provincial in the most realistic sense: of the very time and place of its making, out of human beings who are so particularly limited by their situation, whose faces and names are real and whose lives begin each one at an individual unique center. Indeed, Willa Cather was as provincial as Hawthorne or Flaubert or Turgenev, as little concerned with aesthetics and as much with morals as Tolstoy, as obstinately reserved as Melville. In fact she always reminds me of very good literary company, of the particularly admirable masters who formed her youthful tastes, her thinking and feeling." ( Katherine Anne Porter in Lesbian and Bisexual Fiction Writer s, ed. by H. Bloom, 1997) Willa Siebert Cather was born in Back Creek Valley (now Gore), near Winchester, Virginia. At the age of nine she moved with her family to a farm near Red Cloud, in the Nebraska settler country. There she grew up among the immigrants from Europe, most of them coming from Scandinavia, who were establishing homesteads on the Great Plains. The wide open spaces, bare "as a piece of sheet iron", and its people formed the background for half of Cather's novels and many short stories depicting the frontier life on the American plains. The new ranch was not a success, and in 1884 the family moved to the small railroad town of Red Cloud, where Cather's father opened an insurance business. Cather was educated at home, and later she attended Red Cloud High School. From an early age, Cather was troubled by her sexual identity. She preferred to dress in men's clothing and as a teenager she began signing her name "William Cather, Jr." and later Dr. Will." Cather was also active in community theater productions and often took male roles. At the age of fifteen she was in charge of the local newspaper for three months - her father had foreclosed a mortgage on the newspaper, and because he was not a journalist, he left the paper to Willa.
