Often forgotten among these essential locations has been Pittsburgh. During the ten years Pittsburgh was her home (1896-1906), Cather worked as an editor, journalist, teacher, and freelance writer. She mixed with all sorts of people and formed friendships both ephemeral and lasting. She published extensively--and not just profiles and reviews but also a collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eApril Twilights\u003c\/i\u003e, and more than thirty short stories, including several collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Troll Garden\u003c\/i\u003e that are now considered masterpieces: \"A Death in the Desert,\" \"The Sculptor's Funeral,\" \"A Wagner Matinee,\" and \"Paul's Case.\" During extended working vacations through 1916, she finished four novels in Pittsburgh. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCather Studies, Volume 13\u003c\/i\u003e explores the myriad ways that these crucial years in Pittsburgh shaped Cather's writing career and the artistic, professional, and personal connections she made there. With contributions from fourteen well-known Cather scholars, this collection of essays recognizes the importance Pittsburgh played in Cather's life and work and deepens our appreciation of how her art examines and elucidates the human experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cather Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496224612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496224613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.84d","brand":"Cather Studies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986578833663,"sku":"9781496224613","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93db03ef-6128-45e4-af91-a907b56aabd6.jpg?v=1683284184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cather-studies-volume-13-cather-studies-9781496224613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
