Abstract
Steven Trout offers a fresh approach to the study of Cather as a writer of war fiction and situates her squarely among the principally male writers of World War I. In lucid prose, Trout presents a convincing argument that Cather's prize-winning but much maligned novel One of Ours is "far more modernist than most critics have assumed" and merits a place alongside works by Hemingway and Remarque as a realistic account of the American experience in the "War to End All Wars."
