Best known for the distinctive portraits of the people and land of the American
West in her prairie novels, Willa Cather is one of the greatest American writers
of this century. The fourteen short stories in this richly diverse collection,
along with an exemplary introduction by author Cynthia Griffin Wolff, allow for
a more complex view of Cather. As a writer she was intrigued by nature's
ruthlessness and mankind's limitless potential for brutality and had a passion
for the beauty of art. Ranging from the simplicity of Cather's first published
story, "Peter" (1892), to the extraordinary eroticism of "Coming, Aphrodite!"
(1920), this Twentieth-Century Classics collection is an engaging and triumphant
testament to the genius of an American literary icon.
