| Abstract
|
:
|
Explores Willa Cather's iconic status and its problems within popular and literary culture. This work states that not only are Cather's own life and work subject to enshrinement, but as a writer, she herself often returned to the motifs of canonization and to the complex relationship between the onlooker and the idealized object.
