Wharton, Edith American writer and Pulitzer Prize winner, who depicted in her novels the many contradictions of a society caught up in the quest of the Victorian era (1837-1901) for respectability. Born Edith Newbold Jones in New York City, Wharton was educated privately. In 1885 she married the banker Edward Wharton, from whom she was divorced in 1913. She wrote a number of short stories during the 1890s for Scribner's Magazine, and in 1902 she published a historical novel, The Valley of Decision. Wharton's literary reputation was established by The House of Mirth (1905), which, like many of her subsequent novels and short stories, was set in the closed and artificial social world into which she herself had been born. The novel tells the story of Lily Bart, a society woman whose fortunes decline. Unable to provide for herself and unwilling to marry for money, she falls into poverty and social alienation before dying, perhaps as a suicide. In 1907 Wharton settled permanently in France. Her short novel Ethan Frome, a tragic love story of simple people in a bleak New England environment, was published in 1911 and became perhaps her most popular novel. Wharton subsequently produced a great number of novels, travel books, stories (including several memorable ghost stories), and poems. Her other important novels include The Custom of the Country (1913), The Age of Innocence (1920; Pulitzer Prize, 1921), and four short novels collected in Old New York (1924). Four of her novels were made into successful plays by other writers.

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.

Edith Wharton: a Pathfinder Edith Wharton in 1880 at age 18 Image reproduced from Lewis, R. W. B. Edith Wharton: A Biography Introduction Scope Key Library of Congress subject headings ... About this pathfinder Introduction Edith Wharton was a remarkably prolific writer, producing on average one volume a year between the publication of her first book in 1897 ( The Decoration of Houses , written with Ogden Codman Jr.) and her death in 1937. Additionally, she was a very versatile writer. Her works include novels, novellas, short stories, ghost stories, an autobiography, literary criticism, poetry, plays, and translations, and they cover such diverse topics as war, travel, landscape gardening, Italian architectural history, and interior decorating. Even her fiction, for which she is best known, covers a variety of subject areas; characters in her novels range from members of New York's highly pedigreed leisure class to the nouveaux riches who appeared during the turn of the century to the impoverished denizens of New England's hill country. return to top Scope This pathfinder is intended for undergraduate students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who wish to learn about Edith Wharton. This pathfinder is intended to serve as an introductory guide rather than an exhaustive bibliography; as such, the focus of this pathfinder is more on Edith Wharton's life than on critical reviews of her writing.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) Born in New York City into a patrician family, Wharton was tutored at home by governesses. Her literary aspirations were at odds with the domestic pursuits of her social circle; she published two poems when she was sixteen but did not commit to being a writer until her late thirties, when her marriage was disintegrating. Her first novel, The House of Mirth (1905), demonstrated her keen understanding of the human psyche and established the central features of her fiction: a tension between the nouveau riche and New York's aristocracy and a sense of futility as characters try to overcome social forces. Wharton composed more than eighty short stories and twenty-two novellas and novels, including Ethan Frome The Custom of the Country (1913), and

Advertiser Subscriber <%If session("userid") "" Then%> Logout Edith Wharton's World Portraits of People and Places By Stephen May WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the Twentieth Century draws to a close, Edith Wharton - Victorian blueblood, Old New York chronicler, illuminator of forgotten manners, places and scenes on both sides of the Atlantic - has become, along with her friend Henry James, something of a revived literary and movie sensation. Spurred by the 1975 publication of R.W.B. Lewis's superb biography of a then rather remote, somewhat neglected literary figure, our bookshelves have swelled with new editions of her work and reappraisals of her many gifts, including interior design. More recently, Hollywood has discovered the cinematic potential of her novels of social mores with The Age of Innocence , and The Buccaneers was featured on PBS's Masterpiece Theatre. Insight into why Wharton's writings remain popular, and into the complex woman behind those writings, is offered by a superb exhibition, "Edith Wharton's World: Portraits and Places," on view at the National Portrait Gallery through January 25. Organized by Wharton authorities Eleanor Dwight and Viola Hopkins Winner, it explores the life and times of the celebrated author by means of 100 paintings, miniatures, photographs, books and memorabilia. The show places Wharton (1862-1937) in the context of the sites, friends, acquaintances and activities of the trans-Atlantic society that provided fodder for her work. From these worlds emerged such memorable characters as Ethan Frome, Lily Bart in
