Cather Studies 13: Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh ed. by Timothy W. Bintrim, James A. Jaap and Kimberly Vanderlaan (review)

Jaap, and Kimberly Vanderlaan. Lincoln: Univ. of Nebraska Press, 2021. 323 pages. Paper, $40.00; ebook, $40.00. Joining the prestigious Cather Studies series, Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh provides valuable information and insights on what is probably the least -known pe riod 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. Ann Romines’ prologue, “Becoming ‘Miss Cather from Pittsburgh,” opens with the question “What happened to Willa Cather in Pittsburgh?” Her answer incorporates several related strands: a “constant note” of home - sickness, the satisfactions of personal freedom and a career, and persistent pondering of “what it means to be caught between two homes.” The well- positioned first essay, Daryl W. Palmer’s “Bicycles and Freedom in Red Cloud and Pittsburgh: Willa Cather’s Early Transformations of Place and Gender in ‘Tommy, the Unsentimental,’” follows smoothly from this tone-setting prologue. Veteran readers may at first wonder why Cather’s bicycling and “Tommy the Unsentimental” need further comment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Literary Realism University of Illinois Press
