First published in 1912, Alexander’s Bridge is American author Willa Cather’s first novel. The story centers around Bartley Alexander, a famous engineer and bridge builder who is going through a mid-life crisis. Despite having a wife named Winifred, Bartley rekindles an old flame in London–an affair that Bartley’s innate propriety and honour would make him regret. Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947) was an American writer famous for her novels related to frontier life on the Great Plains. Other notable works by this author include: O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Antonia (1918). She won the Pulitzer Prize for her World War I novel One of Ours (1922). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an excerpt from Willa Cather - Written For The Borzoi, 1920 by H. L. Mencken.
