Samenvatting
The semi-autobiographical nature of My Ántonia stems from Willa Cather's own experiences growing up in Nebraska, where much of the novel is set. Like the novel's narrator, Jim Burden, Cather moved to the Nebraska frontier as a child and was deeply influenced by the immigrant families she encountered, particularly the Bohemian (Czech) immigrants like Ántonia.
Cather often drew on her memories of Nebraska's rugged landscape and the people there. She had a close relationship with several immigrant families, which shaped her understanding of their struggles, resilience, and the cultural clashes they experienced in the American West. Ántonia's character was inspired by a real-life friend of Cather's, Annie Sadilek Pavelka, a Bohemian immigrant whom Cather admired for her strength and vitality.
