Cather’s Bodily Art and the Emergence of Modernism
View through CrossRef
This chapter looks at Cather as a transitional artist, a writer in dialogue with figures such as Henrik Ibsen. The chapter also situates Cather as a writer bridging late Victorianism and then Modernism, a writer above all of ‘transition’. Central parts of the argument focus on the figure of the opera singer – the diva – in order to map her interest in female bodies and their shifting cultural significance.
