In The Song of the Lark, Cather's most autobiographical work, Thea Kronborg emerges as the heroine of her own life. Against formidable familial and social pressures, Kronborg, a minister's daughter from a small Colorado town, makes her way onto a world stage as she fully possesses-and shares-her musical gifts. In choosing her art, she must constantly set aside the pull of home as well as romantic interests to pursue opportunities in Chicago, New York, and Germany. All the while her hometown and its people remain the lodestone and wellspring of her emotional life. In this moving portrait of an artist charting her own path, Cather created one of her most powerful female characters. This Warbler Classics edition is based on the original 1915 edition and includes an extensive biographical timeline.
