Death Comes For The Archbishop

A Lost Lady Is Primarily A Transcendent Of Realism, Arriving Shortly Before The Great Gatsby Which Shares Many Of Its Characteristics. A Characteristic Of This Type Of Novel Is That The Society Is In Transition From An Old Culture To A New, A Power Struggle That Causes There To Be A Preference For An Idealized Past. It Leads To A Conflict Between Idealism And Coarseness. Although Cather Is Better Known For Other Works About Nebraska, This Is Her First Modernist Novel. Cather's Work Falls Into The Category Of Literary Regionalism, A Narrow Account Of A Culture Within A National Experience. At The Time She Was Writing, 1923, There Are Really Only Two Veins Of Cultural Description, The International Or Pan-national Account, And The Regional National. The Description Of National Culture Came Later.
