Extractions: Titles in Fiction category: Titles in Short Stories category: American author, best-known for her stories and ironic novels about upper class people. Wharton's central subjects were the conflict between social and individual fulfillment, repressed sexuality, and the manners of old families and the 'nouveau riche', who had made their fortunes in more recent years. Wharton was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence (1920). The jury had voted for Sinclair Lewis's highly popular book Main Street , but the Columbia University trustees overturned the decision. Lewis dedicated his next work, Arrowsmith , to Wharton. "I was never allowed to read the popular American children's books of my day because, as my mother said, the children spoke bad English without the author's knowing it. (from A Backward Glance Edith Wharton was born in New York, N.Y., into a wealthy and socially prominent family. She was educated privately by European governesses. Her early years Wharton spent rather with books than participating in the activities of high society. In 1885 she married with no great enthusiasm Edward Wharton, a Boston banker, who was twelve years her senior. Wharton's role as a wife with social responsibilities and her writing ambitions resulted in nervous collapse. She had started to compose poems in her teens and she was advised that writing might help her recover. Her early stories did not deal with New York high society, but urban poverty. 'Mrs. Manstey's View' was about an impoverished widow and the severe 'Bunner Sisters' realistically depicted the harsh fate of two sisters. This novella waited for its publication for a long time and it finally appeared in

Wharton was privately educated and began at an early age to write, a habit viewed by her family as unsuitable for a woman of her social class and as an eccentricity best ignored and left undiscussed. Her first published work consisted of a group of poems published anonymously in 1878 under the title Verses In 1885 the twenty-three year old Edith Jones married Edward Wharton, a wealthy Bostonian who was thirteen years her senior. They divided their year between New York and Newport and later Lenox, Massachusetts, where Edith Wharton had designed a home called "The Mount."

Extractions: American writer (birthname Edith Jones, which I mention because it may have implications for one of her ghost stories, "Mr. Jones"; she married Teddy Wharton in 1884, and the marriage deteriorated rapidly, ending in divorce in 1913). Wharton is best known for her realist works The House of Mirth The Age of Innocence , and Ethan Frome , but produced a small number of excellent supernaturalist stories, primarily in the psychological (Henry Jamesian) mode. (Wharton was in fact a close friend of James' and was significantly influenced by him.)

http://www.yetanotherbookreview.com/ghost_stories_of_edith_wharton.htm

Extractions: Long on atmosphere but short on chills, this collection should be read and studied more for its grammatical perfection and "window on an era" perspective than for its scare factor. This is certainly not to imply that the stories are boring, because they are not, but if all aspiring authors - this bozo included - were forced to study Ms. Wharton's prose, the literary world, though still littered with repetitive ideas, would be blessed with less hack writers.

http://www.npg.si.edu/exh/wharton/whar3.htm

Extractions: I n her long career, which stretched over forty years and included the publication of more than forty books, Edith Wharton (1862-1937) portrayed a fascinating segment of the American experience. She was a born storyteller, whose novels are justly celebrated for their vivid settings, satiric wit, ironic style, and moral seriousness. Her characters, such as Ellen Olenska in The Age of Innocence, Ethan Fromme , and the charming but ineffectual Lily Bart in The House of Mirth , are some of the most memorable in American literature. Often portrayed as tragic victims of cruel social conventions, they are trapped in bad relationships or confining circumstances. Her own life stands as an example of the obstacles that a woman of her time and place had to overcome to find self-realization. E dith Wharton's writing career was launched one hundred years ago, with the publication of her first book, The Decoration of Houses , written with her architect friend, Ogden Codman. The Decoration of Houses was an immediate success, and encouraged the emergence of professional decorators in the new style, such as Elsie de Wolfe.

Although she maintained after their divorce in 1913 a residence in the U.S., she continued to live in France, where she spent the rest of her life. She became a literary hostess to young writers at her Paris apartment and her garden home in the south of France. Among her friends were Henry James, Walter Berry and Bernard Berenson, with whom she traveled in Germany in 1913. Berenson later told his wife Mary that when he had a dinner with Edith in a hotel, she "eyed a young man at a neighboring table and said: 'When I see such a type my first thought is how to put him into my next novel.'"

Extractions: Links Bibliography Criticism Domestic Goddesses Home Domestic Goddess Edith Wharton once said, about critics and biographers: "After all, one knows one's weak points so well, that it's rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them & invent others." It seems that there is an abundance of blatantly wrong or just slightly incorrect information about Wharton's life and literature; it also seems that this problem was one Wharton herself faced. Born Edith Jones, January 24, 1862, she went on to become the first woman to ever win the Pulitzer prize for her novel The Age of Innocence, in 1921. You can read Wharton's own impressions of her life in the autobiography A Backward Glance. Her life story is as interesting as those of the women in her novels, and the biography by Lewis (see works cited link) is an excellent source of history, entertainment and context. One of Wharton's ancestors, Ebenezer Stevens, participated in the Boston Tea Party, and had this to say about the legend of this Revolutionary event: The party was about seventy or eighty. At the head of the wharf we met the detachment of our company. . . We commenced handling the boxes of tea on deck, at first commenced breaking them with axes, but found much difficulty . . .

http://www.gradesaver.com/ClassicNotes/Authors/about_edith_wharton.shtml

Extractions: Edith Wharton was born Edith Newbold Jones to George and Lucretia Jones in New York City on January 24, 1862. She belonged to an aristocratic New York family with ancestry dating back three centuries. As a daughter of society , her role was to learn the mannerisms and rituals expected of well-bred young women in those days. Later she would rebel against this role but as a child she was schooled at home and had the privilege of use of her father's extensive library. She was privately educated at home and in Europe by governesses and tutors. In 1885, Wharton married Teddy Wharton, who was twelve years older than she was. They lived a life of relative ease with homes in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Slowly, Wharton grew dissatisfied with the roles of wife and society matron. When she discovered Teddy had taken money from her to provide a home for his mistress in Boston, their marriage fell apart. Also, Wharton had met and fallen in love with Morton Fullerton and had been sexually awakened as a 46 year old woman living virtually on her own in Paris. Wharton divorced in 1913. Between 1900 and 1938, Wharton created many, many novels. The publication of the House of Mirth in 1905 marked the true beginning of Wharton¹s literary career. She continued to publish rapidly, producing, among others, Ethan Frome in 1911.
