• W4313010742 abstract "Reviewed by: Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh: Cather Studies 13 ed. by Timothy W. Bintrim, James A. Jaap, and Kimberly Vanderlaan Elizabeth Turner Timothy W. Bintrim, James A. Jaap, and Kimberly Vanderlaan, editors. Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh: Cather Studies 13. Lincoln: U of Nebraska P, 2021. 378 pp. Paper, $40; e-book, $40. In June 2017 The Willa Cather Foundation presented the Sixteenth International Cather Seminar, “Beyond Nebraska: Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh.” The seminar focused on “Cather’s professional activities in Pittsburgh and the artistic, professional, and personal connections she made there” during her years in Pittsburgh (1896–1906) (Introduction xi). Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh: Cather Studies 13 editors Timothy W. Bintrim, James A. Jaap, and Kimberly Vanderlaan offer new material about and important insights into Cather’s Pittsburgh. The assembled essays are framed by recognized Cather scholars Ann Romines and John J. Murphy. Romines’s prologue, “Becoming ‘Miss Cather from Pittsburgh,’” begins with a simple question, [End Page 314] “What happened to Willa Cather in Pittsburgh?” (1). The answer to this question includes biographical and historical information prior to Cather’s move to Pittsburgh, contemporary events in Pittsburgh, and Cather’s work as a teacher and a writer in Pittsburgh. Romines effectively anchors the anthology by establishing the personal and professional importance of Cather’s experience in and rendering of Pittsburgh. Murphy’s wide-ranging epilogue, “Why Willa Cather? A Retrospective,” uses a personal approach to Cather and her literature as Murphy recalls his first visit to Red Cloud, some of his teaching experiences, and many connections between Cather and other writers. Murphy reveals the importance of Cather’s work and life, thus extending the focus of Romines’s opening essay. The body of the anthology is divided into four parts, each of which includes three essays. The first part, “East Meets West,” begins with 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.’” Palmer’s title accurately previews a well-written examination of bicycles and freedom while referencing a number of well-respected Cather scholars. The essays in the second part, “Class Action: Retrying ‘Paul’s Case,’” include Mary Ruth Ryder’s “Growing Pains: The City behind Cather’s Pittsburgh Classroom.” This essay looks at Cather’s teaching career in Pittsburgh as well as two stories, “The Professor’s Commencement” and “Paul’s Case.” Of particular interest is Ryder’s emphasis upon historical, cultural, and social information about Pittsburgh. The third part, “Friendships, Literary and Musical,” considers influential Pittsburgh friends, artists, and musicians. John H. Flannigan’s “A Collegial Friendship: Willa Cather and Ethel Herr Litchfield” reveals how Cather turned to Litchfield for her musical knowledge while Litchfield relied upon Cather’s literary skills as Flannigan effectively argues for recognition of the importance of this relationship. The fourth part, “Cather’s Later Stories,” focuses upon “how fin-de-siècle Pittsburgh contextually shaped” that late fiction (xvii). Angela Conrad’s “Cather’s Pittsburgh and the Alchemy of Social Class” includes two of Cather’s Pittsburgh stories, “Paul’s Case” (1905) and “Double Birthday” (1929). Conrad argues that “Cather used alchemical symbolism,” which emphasizes “dialectics [End Page 315] and divisions between opposites” (284). Conrad’s argument is both original and effective as it blends ideas and history of the time with these Pittsburgh stories. This collection emphasizes not only Cather’s experiences, observations, work, and growth while in Pittsburgh but also the lasting effects of her Pittsburgh years. Willa Cather’s Pittsburgh: Cather Studies 13 provides new and essential material that will interest Cather readers and scholars as well as those who look for historical and cultural studies.
