Song of the Lark
novel by Cather
Song of the Lark, novel by Willa Cather, published in 1915. The heroine, Thea Kronborg, overcomes many hardships to become a leading Wagnerian soprano at the Metropolitan Opera. Even though she eventually marries a man who loves her, it is her career that brings her complete fulfillment. The Song of the Lark is one of several works in which Cather displayed her lyrical powers and in which she presented a protagonist who, by virtue of talent and determination, is able to rise above small-town provincialism.
