Edith Wharton was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels of social and psychological insight. She was also well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt.
Customer Reviews
Spectacular!
Edith Wharton’s memoirs are more reminiscing than autobiographical - and what a fascinating read it is!
One can only marvel at the people and events that were Wharton’s life. Further, how the life Wharton lived was so much due to her own ability to defy convention and break free of the strictures of class and society. And yet Wharton was still so keenly aware of there hold on her and those around her as is reflected in her works.
