Willa Cather and the politics of criticism

by Joan Ross Acocella

Cover of Willa Cather and the politics of criticism

"Joan Acocella examines the politics of Willa Cather criticism: how Cather's work has been seized upon and often distorted by critics on both the left and the right. This book makes a significant contribution to Cather studies and at the same time points out the follies of political criticism in the study of all literature."--BOOK JACKET.
