SUMMARY:Virtual Author Series: David McKay Powell
DESCRIPTION:The National Willa Cather Center is hosting an author series as a way to connect Cather to contemporary writers as well as provide an accessible and inclusive space where readers can talk directly with writers about their work. Participating authors discuss how they create their work\, thematic connections within and outside of their texts\, and and how our shared experiences inform the work. \nThis virtual event is free\, but registration is required. Click here for more information and to register. \nThroughout her fiction\, Willa Cather mentioned forty-seven operas. References to opera appear in all but three of her twelve novels and in roughly half of her short stories. Despite a dearth of musical education\, Cather produced astute writing about the genre beginning in her earliest criticism and continuing throughout her career. She counted opera stars among her close friends\, and according to Edith Lewis\, her companion throughout adulthood\, the two women frequently visited the theater\, even in the early days\, when purchasing tickets to attend performances proved a financial sacrifice. \nMelding cultural history with thoughtful readings of her works and discussions of opera’s complex place in turn-of-the-century America\, David McKay Powell’s Cather and Opera offers the first book-length study of what drew the writer so powerfully and repeatedly to the art form. \nDavid McKay Powell is associate professor of English at Union College in Barbourville\, Kentucky\, where his research focuses on the intersections of classical music and American literature.
