Cather, Woolf, and the Two Mrs. Ramsays

Discusses Willa Cather’s novel “Lucy Gayheart,” which provides the only public access to Cather’s sense of connection to Virginia Woolf, a writer she admired. Uses Cather’s “provocative” placement of Mrs. Ramsay as a way to re-frame thinking about this novel. Considers it as an experimental modernist novel.
