"The essays that comprise Willa Cather at the Modernist Crux are a
welcome addition to the ongoing assessment of the author's career
and her contributions to modern US literature."—Susan Naramore
Maher, American Literary History
“The essays selected for the volume—in all cases substantial and
thoughtful, in some cases exhilarating in their intellectual
richness and scope—valuably deepen, complicate, and extend the
account of the precise nature of Cather’s modernism.”—Richard
Millington, coeditor of The Cambridge Companion to Nathaniel
Hawthorne
“Essential reading in the field. . . . These essays point the
way toward a new generation of Cather scholarship.”—Daryl
Palmer, author of Writing Russia in the Age of Shakespeare
