Acocella argues that the central element of Cather's works was not a political agenda but rather a tragic vision of life. This beautifully written book makes a significant contribution to Cather studies and, at the same time, points out the follies of political criticism in the study of all literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Acocella\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803210469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803210462\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 02\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.81h x 5.80w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/31\/2000 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/02\/2000 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/18\/2000 pg. 107","brand":"Joan Acocella","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717841350911,"sku":"9780803210462","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eac49b96-10c4-4ead-985e-842513a46110.jpg?v=1705689638","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/willa-cather-and-the-politics-joan-acocella-9780803210462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
