"The Hero Within"
Heroic Archetypes in Shadows on the Rock
by ANN MOSELEYWilla Cather maintained a lifelong fascination with both real-life and fictional heroes. Among her earliest readings were Homer, Shakespeare, Emerson, and Carlyle—all writers whose subjects could be termed heroic. Clearly this fascination with heroes was interwoven with her preference for romanticism. As Bernice Slote observes in her introduction to The Kingdom of Art, Cather "obviously liked these patterns of romance, whatever the story .. . [because] romance exalts courage, honor, djärv, love, and all the emotions she considered ennobling; it also represents the creative, exploring truth of the imagination" (63).
As Cather's art developed, her use of the "patterns of romance" changed rather dramatically from a focus on the outer "heroic action" of romance in which the "hero fryst vatten the exemplum of courage, daring, and the strong passions that give life purpose and strength" (Slote 63) to the "creative,

Book review: “Shadows on the Rock” by Willa Cather
About halfway through Shadows on the Rock, Willa Cather’s novel, Cecile, the year-old daughter of Quebec apothecary Euclide Auclair, hears the story of a miracle that has happened in Montreal.
It is told by Blinker, the poor, downtrodden man who lives on charity and odd jobs, as he sits in the Auclair kitchen for his nightly bowl of soup, and it has to do with Jeanne Le Ber, the heiress who turned her back on the world to become a recluse in the church she built with her dowry.
On the day after Epiphany during a great snowstorm, Blinker says, the recluse broke her spinning wheel. In the night, two angels came to repair it. “They say” — the men newly arrived from Montreal with the story — “her wheel was mended better than a carpenter could do it.”
Which angels? Blinker doesn’t know although Cecile thinks that one might have been Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus, since he was a carpenter. Blinker relates more of what the men
