摘要

The backdrop of Willa Cather’s works is usually set on the prairie of West Nebraska.She focuses on the depiction of the life style and spirit of the farmers working in the harsh environment of the west,and her work is a loving tribute to the tough and pioneering spirit of its people.She also depicts the spiritual alienation of the various immigrants who move away from home to settle down in the west,exploring their hardship and disillusionment.My Antonia is just this kind of work,which features Jim Burden and his quest of an Antonianized prairie,pregnant with touching nostalgia for a rural past in the west threatened by the multiple complications of an overdeveloping modern world.The thesis aims to dissect the state of spiritual belongingness of the novel’s several characters,and analyze their respective implication.
