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.

Extractions: Willa Cather - (1873-1947) Red Cloud By Rebecca Fowler Read another essay on Willa Cather by Virginia student Lori Lyles "All those fall afternoons were the same, but I never got used to them. As far as we could see, the miles of copper-red grass were drenched in sunlight that was stronger and fiercer than at any other time of the day. The blonde cornfields were red gold, the haystacks turned rosy and threw long shadows. The whole prairie was like the bush that burned with fire and was not consumed" (40). My Antonia I. Personal and Professional Life On December 7, 1873 in Back Creek Valley, Virginia, a daughter was born to Mary Virginia Boak Cather and Charles Cather. They named their first born Willella Sibert Cather after Charles' younger sister who died in childhood. The first nine years of Cather's life was spent in Virginia where her father raised sheep on his father's farm until a fire destroyed the family's barn in 1883 (McFarland 8). The Cathers, which had grown to included Willa, her two brothers, her sister plus her maternal grandmother Rachel Boak, moved to a farm on the Divide in the state of Nebraska. The Cather children did not attend school on the frontier, but in the evenings Willa Cather would read to her grandmother from English classics and the Bible (McFarland 8). Concerned about the children's education, Charles and Mary Cather moved off the farm to the prairie town of Red Cloud. There Charles Cather opened a real estate and loan office and the children were enrolled in public school.
