486 The Creative Partnership of Willa Cather & Edith Lewis (with Melissa J. Homestead)
The History of Literature - Un pódcast de Jacke Wilson / The Podglomerate - Lunes
What was Willa Cather's life really like? Was she - as is often thought - a solitary artist, painstakingly crafting her novels about the Great Plains? Or did she actually have a robust creative partnership with another woman, Edith Lewis, which was downplayed at the time and for decades afterward? In this episode, Jacke talks to Melissa J. Homestead about her book, The Only Wonderful Things: The Creative Partnership of Willa Cather & Edith Lewis, which sheds new light on the life and works of a great twentieth century novelist.
