Despite no formal education, she was the first woman awarded: * the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel (in 1921) * an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University (1923) * full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters (1926) Transcript Book World Live Hermione Lee fields questions and comments about her biography of the Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Edith Wharton. What's This? Digg Google del.icio.us ... Facebook Knopf. 869 pp. $35 But the things about herself that Wharton was most determined to hide details of her divorce, for instance, or her love affair with the intriguing Morton Fullerton, or her long friendships with Henry James and Walter Berry have turned out mostly to her credit, as they become known. And her work, once synonymous with dated, Jamesian propriety, upon re-examination is bold, insightful and passionate on some formerly taboo topics such as female sexuality and rebelliousness, something her readers perhaps always understood.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) Contributing Editor: Elizabeth Ammons Classroom Issues and Strategies In my experience, students divide sharply on Wharton. Some love her work, responding particularly to the elegance and precision of her prose and the sharpness of her wit; others don't like her at all, finding it hard to "get into" her fiction because she seems so cold, the prose seems so detailed and self-conscious, and the subject matter is so elite. Mainly I try to get the two groups talking/arguing with each other. The result usually is that each can appreciate the point of view of the other, and we can start there: with a view of Wharton in which she is both marvelously accomplished as a stylist within a particular aesthetic andin some ways on the very same groundslimited as a writer by class and temperament. One issue students are very interested in is sexuality in Wharton's fiction, ranging from what birth control was available at the time and in the class she wrote about to what her own attitudes toward sex were. Another question is: Why care about all these rich privileged people in Wharton's fiction? Who cares? (One response I give to this is that the top of the pyramid gives a very good sense of what the whole culture aspires to, since those are the people that everyone envies and wishes to beor is supposed to envy and wish to be. Wharton's fictive world tells us a lot about how the whole culture works and what it values and is supposed to value.) Finally, a question that often gets asked is "What other works by Wharton would you recommend reading?" A good sign.

Edith Newbold Jones Wharton b. New York City, NY January 24 (some sources say 23), 1862 (some sources say 1861) Edith "Pussy" Wharton was born into a wealthy New York family. Her father George Frederic Jones, a gentlemen of leisure, and mother Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander Jones become summer residents in Newport around 1850. Edith spent most of her childhood in New York City (winters) and Newport (summers). The Jones’ long time summer residence, known as Pencraig, was built in early 1860s. Edith lived here prior to family move to Europe due to economic depression at the end of Civil War. They resided in Europe from November 1866 to June 1872. Family returned to Newport for summer season of 1872. Edith’s early Newport days appear to be happy ones, her later days in Newport differ. As a child she enjoyed riding her pony, playing on the family property that gently sloped to Newport Harbor, and swimming and fishing off the dock. At the turn of the 20th century Jones’ property is owned by Sidney Webster. Then spelled Pencraig, now Pen-Craig, the main house no longer exists. The property has been subdivided into three homes, represented by #99 - #101 - #103 Harrison Avenue. A romance developed between Edith and Henry with speculation that an engagement would be eminent. After much talk by society, it finally happened two years later and was reported by the Newport Mercury on August 19, 1882

As they leaned there a girlish voice echoed up gaily from the stairs leading to the court below. "Well, come along, then," it cried, not to them but to an invisible companion, "and let's leave the young things to their knitting," and a voice as fresh laughed back: "Oh, look here, Babs, not actually knitting—" "Well, I mean figuratively," rejoined the first. "After all, we haven't left our poor parents much else to do.. . ." At that point the turn of the stairs engulfed the dialogue. 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.

She was educated privately by European governesses. During her early years, Wharton spent time with books rather than participating in the activities of high society. In 1885 she married Edward Wharton with no great enthusiasm. He was a Boston banker and twelve years her senior. Wharton's role as a wife with social responsibilities and her writing ambitions resulted in a 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 rather 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 finally appeared in Xingu and Other Stories (1916). Wharton's first book

55. Sanctuary | Wharton, Edith edith wharton (18621937) is the author of many critically acclaimed novels, including The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, and The House of Mirth. http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/13564.html

Times Literary Supplement Search the full text of this book: Sanctuary Edith Wharton shopping cart A volume in the Pine Street Books series Kate Orme is a young woman whose illusions of marital bliss are shattered when she comes face to face with the dark secret harbored by her fiance, the wealthy and deceptively ebullient Denis. Kate decides to go ahead and marry Denis, however, as a selfless gesture to protect any child he may conceive from inheriting their father's moral weakness. The couple does have a child, Dick, and in a marriage with a man that Kate has admittedly ceased to love, she transfers her original affections for Denis to their son. Denis dies suddenly and Kate is left to raise their young son. Knowing that Dick could have inherited the faults of his father, Kate anticipates a time when Dick's morality will be severely tested. That time comes years later when Dick, an eligible bachelor and aspiring professional, is faced with a dilemma that will affect the course of his life. With the precision, beauty, and sharp awareness of the cracks in upper-class New York society that made her one of the great writers of the twentieth century, Edith Wharton offers a subtle critique of the nature versus nurture debate that raged in the early 1900s. Sanctuary is a spare and moving investigation of the forces that impel human beings toward sin, self-doubt, and redemption. New York Times Times Literary Supplement Edith Wharton (1862-1937) is the author of many critically acclaimed novels, including
