Here, as an observant daughter of a privileged white family, Cather first encountered differences and dislocations that remained lively, productive, and sometimes deeply troubling sites of tension and energy throughout her writing life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The essays in \u003ci\u003eCather Studies, Volume 14\u003c\/i\u003e seek to unsettle prevailing assumptions about Cather’s work as she moved from Virginia to Nebraska to Pittsburgh to New York City to New Mexico and farther west, and to Grand Manan Island. The essays range from examinations of how race shapes and misshapes Cather’s final novel, \u003ci\u003eSapphira and the Slave Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, to challenges to criticisms of her 1935 novel, \u003ci\u003eLucy Gayheart\u003c\/i\u003e. Contributors also frame fresh discussions of Cather’s literary influences and cultural engagements in the first decade of her career as a novelist through the lens of sex and gender and examine Cather’s engagements with region as a geopolitical, sociolinguistic, and literary site. Together, the essays offer compelling ways of seeing and situating Cather’s texts-both unsettling and advancing Cather scholarship.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Unsettling Cather\u003cbr\u003e Ann Romines and Marilee Lindemann\u003cbr\u003e 1.
