The Song of the Lark

"This authoritative edition of Cather's perhaps least understood novel is a welcome addition to the "Willa Cather Scholarly Edition", begun under the general editorship of Susan Rosowski and now under that of Guy Reynolds. "The Song of the Lark "is important for taking the portraits of European immigrants in the US in "O Pioneers! "and adding the element of art as it traces the evolution of Thea Kronborg from small-town girl to opera singer acclaimed in Chicago, New York, and Europe. . . . Embellished with handsome photographs and presented in an easy-to-read format, this is a necessary edition for any scholar of Cather."--N./i>--N. Birns "Choice "
