Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Edith Wharton Edith Newbold Jones was the third child and only daughter in an elite, conservative, old New York family. Tracing their lineage to pre-Revolutionary settlers, her parents, George Frederic and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander Jones, belonged to a class that prided itself on its avoidance of ostentation, intellectualism, publicity, and, according to the author as a grown woman, emotion. That Wharton was to become a famous, brilliantly accomplished author in no way fulfilled her family’s program for her. During her childhood, the Joneses divided their time among New York, Europe, and summers in Newport, Rhode Island. Because her two brothers were already in their teens when she was born, she grew up as if she were an only child; and, as with other girls of her time and class, her life was sheltered. She was tutored at home and, making her debut at the age of seventeen, she was expected thereafter simply to marry. When she did, accepting in 1885 Edward (“Teddy”) Wharton, a good-natured man thirteen years her senior, she made a match that was conventional and, ultimately, unhappy. As a leisure-class wife, she traveled and visited, entertained, supervised servants, and built and decorated homes. Some of these activities appealed to Wharton. Increasingly, however, she found this existence suffocating and, on the advice of doctors treating her for depression, turned to writing as an outlet.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) , 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. Edith Wharton was born on January 24, 1862 in New York, into a wealthy and socially prominent family. She was educated privately by European governesses. In 1885 she married 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 first book, The Decoration Of Houses , appeared in 1897. Her husband started to show increasing signs of mental instability. In 1906-09 Wharton had an affair with the American journalist Morton Fullerton, the great love of her life. The Whartons were divorced in 1913 and Edith spent the rest of her life in France.

Edith Wharton 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 . . . We were careful to prevent any being taken away; n one of the party were painted as Indians , nor, that I know of, disguised, except that some of them had stopped at a paint shop on the way and daubed their faces with paint. (qtd in Lewis 8) We can see from this that Wharton had some interesting and historically important ancestors. We can also see from Stevens' insistence in the truth of the event that perhaps the inner truths were something that Wharton was born knowing. She began writing at an early age, despite the fact that artistic endeavors, while not actively discouraged among her class and family, were not encouraged. As her Pulitzer prize winning biographer, R.W.B. Lewis says, her works are, continuing testimony to the female experience under modern historical and social conditions, to the modes of entrapment, betrayal, and exclusion devised for women in the first decades of the American and European twentieth century. (Lewis xiii)

Wharton, Edith American writer and Pulitzer Prize winner, who depicted in her novels the many contradictions of a society caught up in the quest of the Victorian era (1837-1901) for respectability. Born Edith Newbold Jones in New York City, Wharton was educated privately. In 1885 she married the banker Edward Wharton, from whom she was divorced in 1913. She wrote a number of short stories during the 1890s for Scribner's Magazine, and in 1902 she published a historical novel, The Valley of Decision. Wharton's literary reputation was established by The House of Mirth (1905), which, like many of her subsequent novels and short stories, was set in the closed and artificial social world into which she herself had been born. The novel tells the story of Lily Bart, a society woman whose fortunes decline. Unable to provide for herself and unwilling to marry for money, she falls into poverty and social alienation before dying, perhaps as a suicide. In 1907 Wharton settled permanently in France. Her short novel Ethan Frome, a tragic love story of simple people in a bleak New England environment, was published in 1911 and became perhaps her most popular novel. Wharton subsequently produced a great number of novels, travel books, stories (including several memorable ghost stories), and poems. Her other important novels include The Custom of the Country (1913), The Age of Innocence (1920; Pulitzer Prize, 1921), and four short novels collected in Old New York (1924). Four of her novels were made into successful plays by other writers.

But looking back with the benefit of a century of hindsight, I found myself nostalgic for a time when Society was capable of Outrage, individuals were subject to Shame and societal morays actually served as a bulwark against scandalous behavior.

Edith Wharton Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Edith Wharton was born into a wealthy, conservative, New York family that traced its lineage back to the colonial settlement of the city. Although growing up within the upper echelon of New York society provided her with rich material for her fiction, the experience did not encourage Wharton to become a novelist. In the rather rigid social world in which she was raised, women were expected to become wives, not writers. Nonetheless, Wharton began experimenting with writing poetry and fiction at a young age. That she became a major figure of American letters is a testament to her extraordinary talent as a social observer and literary stylist. Wharton debuted in New York society at the age of seventeen and married Bostonian Edward Wharton a few years later. Edward was thirteen years older than his wife and did not share her taste for art, literature, or intellectual pursuits. Given that the couple had little in common besides their privileged upbringing, it is perhaps not surprising that the marriage was not an emotionally satisfying one. Wharton soon found herself feeling stifled in her role as a society wife. When she eventually began suffering from depression and nervous complaints, her doctors encouraged her to write as a therapeutic release.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) Born in New York City into a patrician family, Wharton was tutored at home by governesses. Her literary aspirations were at odds with the domestic pursuits of her social circle; she published two poems when she was sixteen but did not commit to being a writer until her late thirties, when her marriage was disintegrating. Her first novel, The House of Mirth (1905), demonstrated her keen understanding of the human psyche and established the central features of her fiction: a tension between the nouveau riche and New York's aristocracy and a sense of futility as characters try to overcome social forces. Wharton composed more than eighty short stories and twenty-two novellas and novels, including Ethan Frome The Custom of the Country (1913), and

A naturally gifted storyteller, Wharton wrote novels and short fiction notable for their vividness, satire, irony, and wit. Her complex characters and subtly delivered point-of-view make the reading of Wharton's fiction both challenging and rewarding, while her own life illustrates the difficulties that a woman of her era had to surmount to find self-realization. In 1885, when she was twenty-three, she married Edward ("Teddy") Wharton. Although from a similar social background, he lacked her artistic and intellectual interests and after nearly 30 years of marriage, she divorced him. Wharton eventually settled permanently in France, thereafter visiting the United States only rarely. In Paris in 1908 she began a briefly fulfilling but ultimately disappointing affair with Morton Fullerton, a journalist on the London Times and a friend of Henry James. In Paris she found intellectual companionship in circles where artists and writers mingled with the rich and well-born, and where women played a major role. Considered one of the major American novelists and short story writers of the 20th century, Edith Wharton died in France in 1937.
