- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of environmental imagination in the literary works of Willa Cather. The author suggests that symbolic language in literature brings an understanding of the landscape, agriculture, and settlement of nature. The books "A Lost Lady" and "The Professor's House," both by Cather, are compared for their descriptions of architecture of homes and their surroundings. The author argues that Cather depicts prairie dwellings that harmonize with their environments, much in the same way that architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed modern homes for their surroundings.
