{"product_id":"alexanders-bridge-9780803258631","title":"Alexander's Bridge","description":"\u003cp\u003eWilla Cather's first published novel, set in Boston, London, and Paris, is the story of a man unable to resolve the contradictions in his own nature. The central figures are Bartley Alexander, a world-famous engineer; his wife; Winifred, a Boston society matron; and his former love, Hilda Burgoyne, a London actress. Long considered an uncharacteristic production, in the light of recent scholarship \u003ci\u003eAlexander's Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e is seen to be closely linked to the body of Cather's work, thematically as well as in its use of myth and symbol. Bernice Slote's introduction considers the circumstances of its composition and its relationship to the later novels, particularly \u003ci\u003eOne of Ours\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Professor's House\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLucy Gayheart\u003c\/i\u003e.
