I am having a chapter of Willa Cather and France: In Search of the Lost Language (Robert J. Nelson; 1988) digitized by my library, almost certainly very helpful. I probably won't have it in the next few weeks, though. I don't imagine many Cather scholars will come across this page - but if any of you do and have access before I add anything, that would be lovely. Urve (talk) 10:45, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just for posterity's sake, I have received it and will integrate it soon. Urve (talk) 17:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Urve, thanks for the interesting article! The hooks are all great; I prefer ALT1 because it includes the new fragments and no qualms about whether 2011 is still recent. Just a couple comments/questions: 1) The name "Cather's Avignon story" needs a citation. 2) The article says "...which many understand to be lesbian" but cites a single scholar. I think the phrase should be revised or sources should be added to substantiate the use of "many". 3) The hook labels it as her "final novel" but the article doesn't explicitly indicate that. Could you add that fact to the article along with a source? Hopefully these aren't too hard to address. Best, DanCherek (talk) 04:36, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

  • Thank you very much, DanCherek. Your comments are very helpful - coming at the article from the perspective of a Cather scholar, there are some things I take for granted. I believe that I have addressed these issues. If we are good to go, then I would be happy to strike the other hooks but ALT1. Urve (talk) 13:57, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
