Advertise January 2005 James Morrison Small, but Perfectly Formed Edith Wharton Melville House , an independent American publisher, has recently launched the first series of books in their "Art of the Novella" range. The books they have chosen, by Tolstoy, Conan Doyle, Henry James, James Joyce, Flaubert and others, are a great introduction for anyone whose interest has been piqued by the philosophy behind this column. In the near future I will examine their range in greater depth. Another publisher to explore if you want to experience more of the joy of short books is Hesperus Press Heart of Darkness Metamorphosis , that are readily available from other publishers, most of their output is not in print from anyone else. The Touchstone The first woman to win the Pulitzer prize, Edith Wharton is best known for the string of novels she produced at the height of her powers: House of Mirth The Reef The Custom of the Country , and The Age of Innocence . Those who have not read her might imagine, perhaps from the films of her books, or from her close and well-known friendship with Henry James, that her writing would be stately, stale and suffocating. This is completely wrong.

Print The Disillusionment Of Edith Wharton Books Review of: Edith Wharton By LOUIS AUCHINCLOSS March 28, 2007 Wharton turned from her nostalgic childhood to bitter expatriatism, Louis Auchincloss writes. Above, an undated photograph of Wharton in Newport, R.I. A D V E R T I S E M E N T A D V E R T I S E M E N T The growing public acceptance of Edith Wharton as an American classic, accompanied as it has been in recent years with a spate of life studies and the restoration in Lenox, Mass., of her beautiful house and garden, together with the installation of her reassembled library, was bound to be followed in time by a definitive biography. Hermione Lee has now splendidly supplied this in " Edith Wharton" (Knopf, 762 pages, $35). She has given us what appears to be the totality of Wharton's life and accomplishments: not only the great novels, such as "The House of Mirth" and "The Custom of the Country," dramatizations of the cost in human lives of the American pursuit of wealth, but also, and in copious detail, the story of Wharton, the indefatigable gardener, the innovative decorator of houses, the tireless wartime worker in Paris for the refugees and the wounded, and the wide world traveler. Had Ms. Lee written a life of Jesus, there would have been a scholarly chapter on carpentry.

She is best known for her novella Ethan Frome (1911) and her novel The Age of Innocence (1920), which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1921. Wharton’s works typically concern the ethical dilemmas of upper-class characters. These characters are often punished by social codes that encourage selfish and cruel behavior in the name of respectability. Like her friend Henry James , the expatriate American novelist whose writings influenced hers, Wharton was concerned with the subtle interplay of emotions in a society that censured the free expression of passion. In much of her work, a paralyzing dilemma over whether to follow the dictates of the head or the instincts of the heart is at the core of the characters’ conflicts.
