Review

"A remarkable book. It stands somewhere between a curious, handsome coffee-table edition with over one hundred illustrations, and a serious research tool that presents Edith Wharton's 'Life and Work' in encyclopedic breadth and exhaustiveness. . . . Devotees and newcomers alike cannot help but be struck by the book's gracious compendiousness. It's as if we're being led on a tour of an extensive and eclectic archive by a knowing curator." --Dean Casale -- Edith Wharton Review, Fall 1999
