South by Southwest: Katherine Anne Porter and the Burden of Texas History
Between Candor and Concealment: Willa Cather and (Auto)Biography
Willa Cather's noted convictions about privacy existed in tension with her more recently understood engagement in self-publicity. This tension is mirrored in her ambivalent thinking about the genres of biography and autobiography. The two genres became a deeply conflicted site for her, and one that often produced self-contradictions. Although Cather took steps to preserve her privacy late in life, she also manifested impulses toward self-writing
Willa Cather's West: The Question of Intentionality
The important revisionist work of recent decades on women's experiences and visions of the American West has sometimes implied an essentialist theory of gender, as if women's writings emerged inevitably, without conscious purpose of challenging male versions of the West, from the fact of their sex and their traditionally defined roles. Yet conscious critical intention also defines women's writing of a different, reconceptualized, and anti‐masculi…

Response to Richard C. Harris's "Getting Claude 'Over There':Sources for Book Four of Cather's One of Ours" for the Journal of Narrative Theory Janis P. Stout (bio) One of Ours has been one of the most controversial, least liked of Willa Cather's novels. But in recent years it has drawn increased attention—and rightly so, because it is one of her most ambiguous, troubling, and in many ways reticent books. Most of these critical studies have been …

Willa Cather: The Writer and Her World
Previous biographies of Willa Cather have either recycled the traditional view of a writer detached from social issues whose work supported a wholesome view of a vanished America, or they have focused solely on revelations about her private life. Challenging these narrow interpretations, Janis P. Stout presents a Cather whose life and quietly modernist work fully reflected the artistic and cultural tensions of her day.A product of the South--she …

Quilt Culture: Tracing the Pattern
Katherine Anne Porter: A Sense of the Times
Katherine Anne Porter's life (1890-1980) closely parallelled that of her century, not only in its span but in its interests and contradictions. She was a Communist sympathiser who later became quasi-fascist, a cosmopolitan who embraced Southern agrarianism, a femme fatale and a feminist.
Forgiving the Boundaries: Home as Abroad in American Travel Writing
This is a study of American writing about foreign travel. Considering travel memoirs and journals, guidebooks and novels, this text applies recent forms of ideological and postcolonial criticism to a body of work published from 1810 to 1992

"Something of a Reputation as a Radical": Katherine Anne Porter's Shifting Politics
For years Katherine Anne Porter was studied almost exclusively as a stylist. She was praised as a writer's writer, a shaper of well-wrought stories in the Jamesian tradition. And with good reason: Porter was indeed a consummate stylist and a subtle ironist, a builder of artfully controlled fictional structures. But she was also a writer of substance and very much a person of her time, directly involved in some of its most determinant and controve…

The Journey Narrative in American Literature: Patterns and Departures
Stout identifies five basic, recurring patterns of the journey narrative: exploration and escape; homeseeking; return; heroic quest; and wandering. Discussion of these patterns is based on considerations such as the direction of the journey, its motivation, and reference to historical precedents. Stout considers works that demonstrate the complex and interwoven patterns of the journey narrative. The more complex the work, the more intricately int…
