Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Penguin edition great resource for students & teachers.
ISBN 0-14-118104-4 This annotated Penguin edition of Willa Cather's Kunstlerroman is an invaluable resource for students & teachers providing information at first hand. The notes appear at the end of the book, so they do not take away from the enjoyment of reading Cather's prose.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A novel about artistic development
The Song of the Lark is Willa Cather's somewhat autobiographical novel about artistic growth.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the song of the lark...written by the lark
made me cry...and I dont cry. full of her love of the land, and her annoyance with the men who farm it.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An engrossing, harmonious story

It is the story of the making of an artist, from her humble beginnings in Moonstone, Colorado to the big time singing operas in New York. It is a story in three parts.

Part one: A young, talented girl from an immigrant family grows up in a ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Insipid
The penguin classic editions are sure nice little books. It's my first Wila Cather book and I was expecting much more (actually not more, but better) from the reviews I've read. The style is of a quiet, unpretentious storyteller, almost intimistic tone; but it doesn't deliver anything. I was waiting and waiting for the great moment in the narrative, thinking the story would produce at any time some interesting twist, some exciting and unpexpected bonus, but there's nothing extraordinary. The plot flows ... Read More
