Willa Cather & the Farm Novel Tradition

Willa Cather's early novels depicting farm life explore both her memories of Nebraska and a nation grappling with rapid urbanization. In this lecture, Tracy Sanford Tucker, the director of Collections and Curation at the National Willa Cather Center, will explore Cather's complicated relationship with farm life and her place within the 20th century farm fiction genre, and will provide book recommendations about regional farm literature.

This program is sponsored by the Papillion Area Historical Society, and will take place in the Portal School next to Sump Memorial Library at 230 N. Jefferson St.
