This book provides an accessible and stimulating introduction to Wharton's life and writings, to help map her work for new readers, and to encourage more detailed exploration of her texts and contexts. Suggesting a range of perspectives on her most famous novels - The House of Mirth (1905), Ethan Frome (1911), The Custom of the Country (1913) and The Age of Innocence (1920) - it stimulates fresh lines of inquiry, examining these alongside other writings that are now attracting lively critical interest. With its clear structure, illustrations, and guide to further study, this book will form the ideal starting-point for students and for general readers."--BOOK JACKET. 000349246 60010 $$aWharton, Edith,$$d1862-1937. 000349246 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3545.H16$$iZ6876$$i2009 000349246 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349246$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349246 980__ $$aBIB 000349246 980__ $$aBOOK
