Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. This book is "Edith Wharton Abroad: Selected Travel Writings, 1888 - 1920". The book was Edited by Sarah Bird Wright, and has a Preface by Shari Benstock. Published inn 1995 by St. Martin's Press, this is the Second Edition. From the dust-jacket write-up : |> Edith Wharton's seven works of travel have been called "brilliantly written and permanently interesting". For the first time, excerpts from each of these works have been made available to the general reader in a single volume. The collection spans a period of three decades: from the time of leisurely travel by chartered steam yacht, diligence, railway, and motor car during the 'belle époque, through the horror and pathos of the French landscape during World War I, to the Morocco of 1917 - a country previously forbidden to most women and foreigners. |> Scornful of guidebooks, Wharton focused instead on the "parentheses of travel" - the undiscovered by-ways of Europe, Morocco, and the Mediterranean. Among the sites she describes are the towns of Tirano, Brescia, Poitiers and Chauvigny; the gardens of Villa Caparola and the Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati; Hippone and Goletta. Her account of Mount Athos in Greece (written in the recently discovered diary of her 1888 Mediterranean cruise), may be the first ever by an American. An intrepid reporter, she also depicts the front lines of Lorraine and the Vosges during World War I. |> She describes art, architecture, sculpture and landscape with the eye of a knowledgeable connoisseur and the sensitivity of an observant and imaginative novelist. Open to all experiences, she is a voracious intellectual wanderer who often interprets the sights she sees in the light of the expensive historic, literary, and classical reading begun in her youth.<| I see from a photograph in the book, that novelist, and her friend, Henry James, accompanied her and her husband on a few jaunts. Quite the company she kept. The reading of this book can only confirm the high place she has amongst intellectual writers.
