Hardback
Description
Engineer Bartley Alexander appears to have a happy life in Boston with a successful career and a beautiful wife.
He has been commissioned to design the Moorlock Bridge in Canada, the most important project of his career.
With the onset of middle age, however, he grows increasingly restless and discontented, so much so that while in London he recklessly reignites a love affair with the sweetheart of his youth, the Irish actress Hilda Borgoyne.
Although the tryst allows Alexander to recapture an element that has been missing from his pedestrian life, the relationship torments his sense of morality and eventually proves disastrous.
Alexander’s Bridge explores the demands of Gilded Age society on the individual, as well as the capacity of the individual to violate his own standards of integrity.
This Willa Cather Scholarly Edition provides an illuminating new framework for Cather’s debut novel.
The novel is edited according to standards set by the Committee for Scholarly Editions of the Modern Language Association and presents the full range of biographical, historical, and textual information now available, complete with illustrations and maps.
