Description
Willa Cather's O Pioneers! is a powerful novel about a woman's determination to save her family's farm in Nebraska. Alexandra Bergson's passion for the land and her commitment to independence make her a wealthy landowner, but her story is also a testament to the cultural politics of the Progressive Era. Set against the backdrop of the American prairie, the novel explores themes of order and efficiency, as well as the social and economic transformations of the time. Through Alexandra's journey, Cather gives a radical cast to the quintessential American novel of the soil, one that is both influenced by and distinct from the democratic utopianism of Walt Whitman and the serene regionalism of Sarah Orne Jewett. This edition of O Pioneers! is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
