About this title

About the Author:

Edith Wharton (1862-1937), American novelist and short-story writer, was born in New York City. Strongly influenced by Henry James, she is best known for her subtle and su-perbly crafted studies of the tragedies and ironies in the lives of members of middle-class and artistocratic New York soci-ety in the the nineteenth century. She was educated in New York and Europe, and married Edward Wharton, a Boston banker, in 1885. When her husband became mentally ill, she cared for him until 1913, when she settled permanently in France and divorced him. Among her best and most characteristic works are The House of Mirth (1905) and The Age of Innocence (1920), for which she received a Pultizer prize.

Review:

?'The whole civilian part of the country seems merged in one symbolic figure, carrying help and hope to the fighters....The only death the Frenchmen fear is not the death in the trenches, but death in the extinction of their national ideal.' This is the France that Mrs. Wharton sees.?-Boston Transcript
