" (from A Backward Glance The Letters of Edith Wharton The Whartons spent much time in Europe from 1906. Although she maintained after their divorce in 1913 a residence in the U.S., she continued to live in France, where she spent the rest of her life. She became a literary hostess to young writers at her Paris apartment and her garden home in the south of France. Among her friends were Henry James, Walter Berry and Bernard Berenson, with whom she traveled in Germany in 1913. Berenson later told his wife Mary that when he had a dinner with Edith in a hotel, she "eyed a young man at a neighboring table and said: 'When I see such a type my first thought is how to put him into my next novel.'"

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.

20. Reader's Companion To American History - -WHARTON, EDITH Wharton, Edith. (18621937), author and philanthropist. Wharton was born intothe wealthy old New York society of the late nineteenth century, http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_091800_whartonedith.htm

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
