Alexander's Bridge: A Fiction and Literature Classic By Willa Cather! AAA+++

by Willa Cather, BDP (Editor)

Overview

This is an amazing story about a successful engineer and his simultaneous romantic relationships with two brilliant and capable women. Originally published in 1912, it must have been scandalous, creating sympathetic portrayals of each of the three main characters: Bartley Alexander, a leading bridge building engineer; Winifried Alexander, his intelligent, enabling, supportive, and capable wife; and Hilda Burgoyne, Alexander’s mistress, a talented and spirited British stage actress.
