- Résumé : "The Song of the Lark" by Willa Cather is a novel that explores the life of Thea Kronborg, a young girl with a prodigious talent for music, growing up in the small town of Moonstone, Colorado. The story begins with Dr. Howard Archie, a young and distinguished doctor in Moonstone, who is called to the Kronborg household to assist with the birth of Thea's younger brother. Thea, who is suffering from pneumonia, captures Dr. Archie's attention with her determination and evolving character. As Thea recovers, she continues her music lessons with Professor Wunsch, a German music teacher who recognizes her talent and encourages her to pursue her passion. Thea's mother, Mrs. Kronborg, is a practical and strong-willed woman who supports her daughter's musical aspirations despite the challenges of their modest life. The novel delves into the dynamics of the Kronborg family, highlighting the contrast between Thea's artistic growth and the conventional expectations of her community. Thea's journey is marked by her encounters with various characters, including the eccentric Mrs. Kohler and the enigmatic Professor Wunsch, who influence her development as a musician. The novel paints a vivid picture of small-town life in the early 20th century, capturing the struggles and triumphs of a young artist striving to find her place in the world. Through Thea's story, Cather explores themes of change, identity, and the transformative power of art.
- Biographie : Willa Cather (1873 -1947) was an American writer who achieved recognition for her novels of frontier life on the Great Plains, including O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918). In 1923 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I. Despite this critical opposition to her work, Cather remained a popular writer whose novels and short story collections continued to sell well. In 1931 Shadows on the Rock was the most widely read novel in the US, and Lucy Gayheart became a bestseller in 1935. Although Cather began her writing career as a journalist, she made a distinction between journalism, which she saw as being primarily informative, and literature, which she saw as an art form. Cather's work is often marked by its nostalgic tone, her subject matter and themes drawn from memories of her early years on the American plains.
