C is for Cather. My Ántonia is considered one of the
most significant American novels of the twentieth century.
Set during the great migration west to settle the plains of
the North American continent, the narrative follows Antonia
Shimerda, a pioneer who comes to Nebraska as a child and
grows with the country, inspiring a childhood friend, Jim
Burden, to write her life story. The novel is important both
for its literary aesthetic and as a portrayal of important
aspects of American social ideals and history, particularly
the centrality of migration to American culture.
