Writing Isolation and the Resistance to Assimilation as "Imaginative Art" : Willa Cather's Anti-Narrative in Shadows on the Rock
Description
Essay on American author Willa Cather's critiques of journalism and realist writing as evidenced in her 1931 novel, "Shadows on the Rock" - a storied portrayal of historical French Canadian resistance to assimilation. How Cather portrays in her fictions the ways in which storytelling can help found and form a basis for community, to be contrasted with many of her characters' experiences of isolation or violence.
