Willa Cather called My ntonia the best thing Ive done. For Oliver Wendell Holmes, My ntonia had unfailing charm, perhaps not to be defined; a beautiful tenderness, a vivifying imagination that transforms but does not distort or exaggerate. This novel secured her a place in the first rank of American writers. H. L. Mencken declared it one of the best [novels] any American has ever done.Cather drew deeply on her childhood days in frontier Nebraska for her fourth novel, published in 1918. Old immigrant neighbors inspired many of the characters, particularly the heroine. ntonia Shimerda is memorable as the warmhearted daughter of Bohemians who must adapt to a hard life on the desolate prairie. She survives and matures, a pioneer woman made radiant by spirit.The Willa Cather Scholarly Edition is faithful to Cathers intentions for the novel as she prepared it for publication in 1918. W. T. Bendas illustrations, omitted in many later reprintings, are included; Cather felt they were an integral part of the novel. The historical essay by James Woodress describes the origin, writing, and reception of the novel. The photographs help illuminate the fiction of a writer who drew extensively on actual experience.
