Biography Edith Wharton was born to Lucretia Rhinelander Jones and George Frederic Jones on January 24, 1862 in New York City. She had two brothers who were considerably older, so she grew up in the lifestyle of an only child. Wharton's family was very prominent and wealthy. Her ancestors on both sides had been among the founders of America. Because of this, she was born into a well-established family of the Old New York generation. Even though her roots reached quite far back in American history, when Wharton was three her family suffered financial problems resulting from the Civil War. Finding it cheaper to live abroad, Wharton's family traveled through Europe with her for six years. She greatly enjoyed this time, for it offered an escape from the close confines of her high society life that limited her later experiences. During the trip, her father taught her to read and write, as well as hiring a private tutor in every European city they traveled to in order for her to learn foreign languages. When she returned to America she finished her training with a governess. Wharton spent most of her free time in her father's library, reading and beginning to write.

Edith Wharton - (1862-1937) Newport By Susan Huetteman Read other essays on Edith Wharton written by New York students Ilana Gross and Molly Avila and Elana Schipano I. Background During the 1920's wealthy Americans sought escape from confining traditions. Edith Wharton wrote, "...Catherine had never had beauty—a gift which, in the eyes of New York, justified every success, and excused a certain number of failings." Greenwich Village became the center for the New York intellectuals and Newport was the literary center for New England, but the artistic exodus to Europe continued. Edith Wharton was a New York socialite and Newport elite who traveled abroad extensively. With the divorce from her elder husband, she sought the Parisian scene where the talents of Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and "Les Six" flourished. ("Les Six"included Georges Auric, Louis Durey, Arthur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, and the only woman, Germain Tailleferre.) Ironically, it was in Europe that she first met Henry James. She counted him among her literary friends, admiring his analytical style. They both wrote of their homeland and an alter-self. Despite, or perhaps because of the depth of their friendship, she remained his devoted student and in his literary shadow.

I n her long career, which stretched over forty years and included the publication of more than forty books, Edith Wharton (1862-1937) portrayed a fascinating segment of the American experience. She was a born storyteller, whose novels are justly celebrated for their vivid settings, satiric wit, ironic style, and moral seriousness. Her characters, such as Ellen Olenska in The Age of Innocence, Ethan Fromme , and the charming but ineffectual Lily Bart in The House of Mirth , are some of the most memorable in American literature. Often portrayed as tragic victims of cruel social conventions, they are trapped in bad relationships or confining circumstances. Her own life stands as an example of the obstacles that a woman of her time and place had to overcome to find self-realization. E dith Wharton's writing career was launched one hundred years ago, with the publication of her first book, The Decoration of Houses , written with her architect friend, Ogden Codman. The Decoration of Houses was an immediate success, and encouraged the emergence of professional decorators in the new style, such as Elsie de Wolfe. E dith's parents, George Frederic and Lucretia Jones, were descendants of English and Dutch colonists who had made fortunes in shipping, banking, and real estate.

She was a descendant of Ebenezer Stevens, a member of the Boston Tea Party and was raised in the upper class. She married Edward Wharton in 1885 and she would divorce him in 1913 after almost 30 years of marriage because they had grown apart and he had numerous affairs. After she settled in Paris she hardly visited the US. In France it was easier to be taken seriously for a woman and she developed many intellectual friendships. In Paris she knew people like Anna de Noailles, André Gide and Jean Cocteau. In 1908 she had a brief affair with the journalist Morton Fullerton, a friend of Henry James. She received the French Legion of Honor because of her philanthropic work during the First World War. In 1920 she was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for her novel "The Age of Innocence". She wrote many novels and short stories. She also published an autobiography, "A Backward Glance".

Edith Wharton, 1862-1937 Born Edith Jones, she went on to become the first woman to ever win the Pulitzer prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921. Her life story is as interesting as those of the women in her novels, and her biography is an excellent source of history, entertainment and context. Wharton probably has not suffered the same level of doubt of her work as some other women writers, in part because of her Pulitzer Prize. She was from a wealthy New York family, and much of her fiction relates partially autobiographical sketches of the kinds of people she grew up with. Her social group included such well-known American aristocracy as the Astors. In fact, one of her most engaging and well-known characters, Mrs. Manson Mignott in The Age of Innocence is based in part on her aunt Mary Mason (Mrs. Isaac) Jones, who built a mansion on Fifth Avenue, at the time not the center of New York. Wharton continued writing until her death in 1937. She is buried in the American Cemetery at Versailles. Click on the cart to download your book / Haz clic en el carrito para descargar tu libro.

Wharton, Edith (1862-1937), writer Born in New York, New York, on January 24, 1862, Edith Newbold Jones came of a distinguished and long-established New York family. She was educated by private tutors and governesses at home and in Europe, where the family resided for six years after the Civil War, and she read voraciously. She made her debut in society in 1879 and married Edward Wharton, a wealthy Boston banker, in 1885. Although she had had a book of her own poems privately printed when she was 16, it was not until after several years of married life that Wharton began to write in earnest. Her major literary model was Henry James, whom she knew, and her work reveals James's concern for artistic form and ethical issues. She contributed a few poems and stories to Harper's, Scribner's, and other magazines in the 1890s, and in 1897, after overseeing the remodeling of a house in Newport, Rhode Island, she collaborated with the architect Ogden Codman, Jr., on The Decoration of Houses . Her next books, The Greater Inclination (1899) and Crucial Instances (1901), were collections of stories.

Edith Wharton Word Count: 10669 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. In the 1890s Wharton started to contribute to Scribner's Magazine. Her first collection of short stories appeared in the late 1890s. Wharton gained her first literary success with her book The House Of Mirth (1905), a story of a beautiful but poor woman, Lily Bart, trying to survive in the pitiless New York City. The Custom Of The Country (1913) was a story of a young ambitious woman. Among Wharton's most famous novels is The Age Of Innocence (1920), which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Wharton's other major works include the long tale Ethan Frome (1911) which was set in impoverished rural New England and The Reef (1912). The novel Hudson River Bracketed (1929) and its sequel The Gods Arrive (1932) compared the cultures of Europe and the sections of the U.S. she knew. Wharton also wrote poems, essays, travel books and her autobiography, A Backward Glance (1934).

She was descended from a wealthy, established family in New York society and saw firsthand the decline of this cultivated group and, in her view, the rise of boorish, nouveau-riche business families. This social transformation is the background of many of her novels. Like James, Wharton contrasts Americans and Europeans. The core of her concern is the gulf separating social reality and the inner self. Often a sensitive character feels trapped by unfeeling characters or social forces. Edith Wharton had personally experienced such entrapment as a young writer suffering a long nervous breakdown partly due to the conflict in roles between writer and wife. Wharton's best novels include The House of Mirth The Custom of the Country Summer The Age of Innocence (1920), and the beautifully crafted novella
