THE PROFESSORS HOUSE by Willa CatherThe Professors House is a novel by American novelist Willa Cather. Published in 1925, the novel was written over the course of several years. Cather first wrote the centerpiece, "Tom Outlands Story, " and then later wrote the two framing chapters "The Family" and "The Professor."THE PROFESSORS HOUSE by Willa CatherAfter completing his masterwork and garnering a great deal of money for it, history professor Godfrey St. Paul has purchased a new house. But when the time comes to move, he cannot bring himself to do so. Sitting in his comfortable study in his current house near the shore of Lake Michigan—and on the verge of a midlife crisis—he reflects on his past.THE PROFESSORS HOUSE by Willa CatherAt fifty-two, he has dedicated himself to his work, his garden, and his wife and two daughters, but despite all of his successes, he is unhappy with the course of his future. He retreats into his memories—his career and fond recollections of Tom Outland, his most outstanding student and once his son-in-law-to-be, who was lost in the Great War. He also thinks of his present and the daunting mystery of what lies ahead. And soon the introspection takes over . . ." The Professor's House is Cather's masterpiece. It is almost perfectly constructed, peculiarly moving, and completely original." —A. S. Byatt, The GuardianTHE PROFESSORS HOUSE by Willa Cather
