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. E dith's parents, George Frederic and Lucretia Jones, were descendants of English and Dutch colonists who had made fortunes in shipping, banking, and real estate.

Biography Edith Wharton was born to Lucretia Rhinelander Jones and George Frederic Jones on January 24, 1862 in New York City. She had two brothers who were considerably older, so she grew up in the lifestyle of an only child. Wharton's family was very prominent and wealthy. Her ancestors on both sides had been among the founders of America. Because of this, she was born into a well-established family of the Old New York generation. Even though her roots reached quite far back in American history, when Wharton was three her family suffered financial problems resulting from the Civil War. Finding it cheaper to live abroad, Wharton's family traveled through Europe with her for six years. She greatly enjoyed this time, for it offered an escape from the close confines of her high society life that limited her later experiences. During the trip, her father taught her to read and write, as well as hiring a private tutor in every European city they traveled to in order for her to learn foreign languages. When she returned to America she finished her training with a governess. Wharton spent most of her free time in her father's library, reading and beginning to write.

Edith Wharton - (1862-1937) New York City By Elana Schipano Read other essays on Edith Wharton written by retired Rhode Island teacher Sue Huetteman and New York students Ilana Gross and Molly Avila I. Biography Edith Wharton was born on January 24, 1862, in New York City, as Edith Newbold Jones. Her parents were George and Lucretia Jones, and she had two older brothers, Frederic and Harry. Edith lived in aristocratic NY society and was taught the mannerisms and expectations of the higher society. She received no formal education; instead she was primarily self-educated. At 17, Edith created a collection of writing, and also submitted poetry to The World Her father passed away when she was 20. She married Edward Norton Robbins Wharton (Teddy informally) on April 29, 1885. In 1890, she had published "Mrs. Manstey's View," "The Fullness of Life," and "Bunner Sisters," and continued to publish more works. In 1901, her mother passed away. In the years of 1901-1902 she designed and had built The Mount, her home based on her ideas of design, in Lenox, Massachusetts. The Mount is now a Historical Landmark. In 1905

Edith Wharton, 1862-1937 Born Edith Jones, she went on to become the first woman to ever win the Pulitzer prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921. Her life story is as interesting as those of the women in her novels, and her biography is an excellent source of history, entertainment and context. Wharton probably has not suffered the same level of doubt of her work as some other women writers, in part because of her Pulitzer Prize. She was from a wealthy New York family, and much of her fiction relates partially autobiographical sketches of the kinds of people she grew up with. Her social group included such well-known American aristocracy as the Astors. In fact, one of her most engaging and well-known characters, Mrs. Manson Mignott in The Age of Innocence is based in part on her aunt Mary Mason (Mrs. Isaac) Jones, who built a mansion on Fifth Avenue, at the time not the center of New York. Wharton continued writing until her death in 1937. She is buried in the American Cemetery at Versailles. Click on the cart to download your book / Haz clic en el carrito para descargar tu libro.

New York City, noted for her subtle, ironic, and superbly crafted fictional studies of New York society at the turn of the 20th cent. The daughter of a socially elect family, she was educated privately in New York and in Europe. In 1885 she married Edward Wharton, a Boston banker; after the first few years of marriage Edward Wharton became mentally ill, and the burden of caring for him fell upon his wife. Finally, in 1913, after she had settled permanently in France, Edith Wharton terminated the marriage by divorce.

She was descended from a wealthy, established family in New York society and saw firsthand the decline of this cultivated group and, in her view, the rise of boorish, nouveau-riche business families. This social transformation is the background of many of her novels. Like James, Wharton contrasts Americans and Europeans. The core of her concern is the gulf separating social reality and the inner self. Often a sensitive character feels trapped by unfeeling characters or social forces. Edith Wharton had personally experienced such entrapment as a young writer suffering a long nervous breakdown partly due to the conflict in roles between writer and wife. Wharton's best novels include The House of Mirth The Custom of the Country Summer The Age of Innocence (1920), and the beautifully crafted novella

Short Story Classics Edith Wharton Roman Fever by Edith Wharton I From the table at which they had been lunching two American ladies of ripe but well-cared-for middle age moved across the lofty terrace of the Roman restaurant and, leaning on its parapet, looked first at each other, and then down on the outspread glories of the Palatine and the Forum, with the same expression of vague but benevolent approval. The two ladies looked at each other again, this time with a tinge of smiling embarrassment, and the smaller and paler one shook her head and colored slightly. "Barbara!" she murmured, sending an unheard rebuke after the mocking voice in the stairway. The other lady, who was fuller, and higher in color, with a small determined nose supported by vigorous black eyebrows, gave a good-humored laugh. "That's what our daughters think of us." The dark lady laughed again, and they both relapsed upon the view, contemplating it in silence, with a sort of diffused serenity which might have been borrowed from the spring effulgence of the Roman skies. The luncheon hour was long past, and the two had their end of the vast terrace to themselves. At its opposite extremity a few groups, detained by a lingering look at the outspread city, were gathering up guidebooks and fumbling for tips. The last of them scattered, and the two ladies were alone on the air-washed height. "Well, I don't see why we shouldn't just stay here," said Mrs. Slade, the lady of the high color and energetic brows. Two derelict basket chairs stood near, and she pushed them into the angle of the parapet, and settled herself in one, her gaze upon the Palatine. "After all, it's still the most beautiful view in the world."

Wharton, Edith (1862-1937), writer Born in New York, New York, on January 24, 1862, Edith Newbold Jones came of a distinguished and long-established New York family. She was educated by private tutors and governesses at home and in Europe, where the family resided for six years after the Civil War, and she read voraciously. She made her debut in society in 1879 and married Edward Wharton, a wealthy Boston banker, in 1885. Although she had had a book of her own poems privately printed when she was 16, it was not until after several years of married life that Wharton began to write in earnest. Her major literary model was Henry James, whom she knew, and her work reveals James's concern for artistic form and ethical issues. She contributed a few poems and stories to Harper's, Scribner's, and other magazines in the 1890s, and in 1897, after overseeing the remodeling of a house in Newport, Rhode Island, she collaborated with the architect Ogden Codman, Jr., on The Decoration of Houses . Her next books, The Greater Inclination (1899) and Crucial Instances (1901), were collections of stories.

There are two ways of spreading light: To be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. Another unsettling element in modern art is that common symptom of immaturity, the dread of doing what has been done before. I have never known a novel that was good enough to be good in spite of its being adapted to the author's political views.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History WHARTON, EDITH , author and philanthropist. Wharton was born into the wealthy "old New York" society of the late nineteenth century, and the atmosphere of her world permeates most of her work. She married a wealthy Bostonian and ostensibly settled into the life of the comfortable. But the marriage was not successful and the Whartons divorced in 1913. Partly to release the energies confined by the rigid social strictures and anti-intellectualism of her aristocratic world, and later to relieve the unhappiness of her marriage, Wharton turned to writing. She privately printed her first book of poems in 1878, when she was sixteen. Wharton wrote two collections of short stories, The Greater Inclination (1899) and Crucial Instances (1901), and a book on interior decoration, The Decoration of Houses (1897), before publishing her first novel, The Valley of Decision, in 1902. By this time, Wharton had also formed a close personal and literary friendship with Henry James, and their work continues to be compared for similarities in both style and theme. All her works were favorably reviewed, but Wharton did not receive critical acclaim until
