Apr302013 | NPR: 'Wonderful Words' in Willa Cather's no-longer-secret lettersLetters are often a dashed-off, informal means of communication, UNL professor Andrew Jewell says, but Willa Cather sprinkled powerful and beautiful phrases throughout hers.

Apr262013 | New York Times: Entirely personal -- 'The Selected Letters of Willa Cather'A self-made American artist and feminist pioneer, Willa Cather traveled a far greater distance -- from tiny Red Cloud to Manhattan -- than Fitzgerald did when he made the leap from middle-class St. Paul to Princeton.
