Willa Cather: One of Ours and Five Stories

ID : 1094   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic In the Pulitzer-Prize-winning One of Ours, published in 1922, a young man leaves his small town in the U.S. Midwest to travel to fight in World War I. The novel is a careful study of youthful idealism and the desire for freedom in conflict with societal restrictions. It continues Cather's study of sensitive characters growing up within the culture of the Midwest that she explores in My Antonia. Five Stories reveals Cather’s art in the short story genre. Focused and poignant, these stories reveal the depth of Cather's concern for her characteristic themes that continue to be relevant: the fate of the outsider in a conventional society, the effect of setting on character, and the deep search for meaning in life.
