Reviews

Joining the prestigious Cather Studies series, Willa Cather's Pittsburgh provides valuable information and insights on what is probably the least known period in the author's life and career, her years in Pittsburgh from 1896 to 1906. Editors Tim Bintrim, James Jaap, and Kimberly Vanderlaan brought particular expertise to bear on the subject, and the result is a highly useful and thought-provoking collection. -Janis Stout, American Literary Realism
