The Professor's House Willa Cather

"I don't think it's a stretch to regard The Professor's House as not only Cather's best work but as one of the five great novels in American literature." --Keith Hale, author of Rupert Brooke of Rugby

"I sometimes think The Professor's House is Cather's masterpiece. It is almost perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original." -- A. S. Byatt, The Guardian

..........

The Professor's House, combining as it does a profound study of individual consciousness with a tragic meditation on the nature of (especially American) civilization, deserves to be seen as one of the greatest and most relevant of the novels of the old century." -- Donald Lyons, The New Centerion
