영문 초록

  O Pioneers! and My Antonia are two among other novels written by Willa Cather highlighting the struggles of immigrants from Europe who tried to carve out a new life in the American frontier during the 19th century.
  With a special interest in the first-generation Bohemians, Cather depicts the interplay of poor sod-house settlers who had to overcom linguistic/crosscultural barriers while creating a modest economic foundation in the West and the geographic challenges which the region presented to homesteaders. The sheer size of the prairie country, the distance between farms and towns, and the dearth of machinery for cultivation coupled with the often hostile elements of nature made life really hard for the pioneers. These harsh conditions necessitated long, laborious days on the part of farmers in close contact with the land they worked and all of its physical elements --- soil, water, weather, flora and fauna, look of the land, its sights, sounds, and odors, etc. One reading Cather"s works soon realizes that human geography is as much a part of her writings as plots and themes. The cultural landscape thus unfolding in her novels merits scholastic attention as one finds geography being so closely incorporated into her literature set against the beauty and mischief of nature in the Great Plains.
