You have a degree in English Lit and never read or heard of Willa Cather or My Antonia? I am truly dismayed. Demand a tuition refund.
We read that book in a core-level college course. It made absolutely no impression on me. Shane was much better.

You will get no argument from me that Shane wasn't a more engaging work than My Antonia. Cather was though a more important author than Schaefer for a number of reasons.
I think I might re-read both just for a new perspective.
