Although the land on which the Nebraska farm boy Claude Wheeler lives is settled, he himself has inherited the pioneer spirit of adventure, the frontiersman''s purpose, and the settler''s sense of idealism. In One of Ours, Willa Cather explores the dissonance between Claudeâ??s attitudes and his physical reality and studies how this conflict affects him. Drawing on her own familyâ??s experience of the war through her cousin G. P. Cather, who fought in World War I, Cather observes how an otherwise misdirected young man could find purpose and meaning in war and how his death would affect his familyâ??s memories of him. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1922, One of Ours paints Claude as a young man who seeks an escape from a conventional and unfulfilling life through the realization of â??something splendid" in his military experience in Europe. This Willa Cather Scholarly Edition puts One of Ours in a new and revealing context. The novel is edited according to standards set by the Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association and presents the full range of biographical, historical, and textual information on the novel. | One Of Ours by Willa Cather Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > Fiction > Literary P10140, Willa Cather<
