6、ovel was sandwiched in between The Professors House(1925) and Death Comes for the Archbishop(1927).While the subject matter of these latter two works can be traced to Cathers experience in the desert Southwest, My Mortal Enemy seemingly has nothing to do with these subjects or her Nebraska roots;it
7、appears to have come out of nowhere,puzzling those who have tried to fit this rather irregular work into a logical progression of Cathers artistic development.The question of what caused Cather to write such a novel at this point in her career,for example,has still not been answered definitively.One
8、 commonly held hypothesis(假说) was first voiced by Marcus Klein,who in his 1961 introduction to the novel wrote that for Cather, “The story of Myra Henshawe must have been a personal crisis.” 【 精品教育资源文库】Klein,though,acknowledged that he could not prove his theory, “because there is available no reco
9、rd other than the novel.” Emmy Stark Zitter has recently argued that in My Mortal Enemy and Sapphira and the Slave Girl (1940) Cather exercises the autobiographical impulse(冲击) by putting details of her own life into her fiction,but,like Klein,she is unable to name which “details” of her life Cather
10、 drew on in writing My Mortal Enemy.As hinted(暗示) in the above statements by Klein and Zitter,much of the general uncertainty about the meaning of My Mortal Enemy can be traced to the absence of a persuasive theory as to who the reallife models for the novels characters were and what Cathers relatio
11、nship to them was.Cather herself wrote in a 1940 letter that,in James Woodresss paraphrase, “she had known Myras reallife model very well,and the portrait drawn in the story was much as she remembered her”;Cather also added that the woman had died fifteen years before My Mortal Enemy was published,a
12、nd that many relatives of this model later wrote to her to say that they recognized the “real” Myra from her description in the novel.Given such hints and Cathers liking for drawing on her experiences in Nebraska for characters,settings,and plots,it is quite understandable that scholars have thus lo
13、oked to Red Cloud and Lincoln for possible sources of the people and events depicted in My Mortal Enemy.In light of the evidence presented in this article,though,I believe that Cather intended her comments about the model for Myra Henshawe to serve as red herrings(转移注意力的言语) that would protect her re
14、lationship with the couple who were the prototypes(原型) for the Henshawes,both of whom were still alive in 1925.Mark Madigan has recently confirmed how Cather in 1905 had to hold off publishing The Profile(侧画像) because of fears that the main character might recognize herself and commit suicide,and tw
15、enty years later Cather would have been well aware of how her description of the Henshawes might have affected both the reallife wife (who died in 1929) and husband (who died in 1949) if they had recognized themselves.It is my argument that the Henshawes were modeled after people Cather knew not in
16、Nebraska but rather in New York:S.S. and Hattie McClure.Myras uncle,John Driscoll,was modeled after Hatties father,Professor Albert Hurd.Possibly most important,identifying the Henshawes as the McClures allows 【 精品教育资源文库】us to more conclusively identify Cather herself with Nellie Birdseye.Nellie an
17、d Cather,both Midwestern onlookers and recorders,experienced four distinct stages in their relationships with the Henshawes and the McClures (especially with S.S.).My Mortal Enemy,I believe,was an extended attempt by Cather to deal with certain aspects of her own past and to move on in a world strip
