At over 600 pages, it is hardly portable but I enjoyed the short stories that I hadn't read before and the non-fiction travel and war writing. The letters I probably could have managed without. The largest chunk was the full novel Summer, which I love but have read several times and excerpts from three other novels. I was surprised at three ghost stories of varying quality in the short stories since I didn't really know about them before. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Best known for her novels depicting the stifling conformity and ceremoniousness of the upper-class New York society into which she was born, Edith Wharton also wrote brilliantly in many genres: essays, travel pieces, memoirs, and a variety of short stories. This unique collection provides a fresh look at Wharton's genius by including a generous sampling of her short stories, along with nonfiction, letters, excerpts from the novels The House of Mirth, The Reef, and The Age of Innocence, and Summer, reprinted in its entirety. Also included in this volume is an introduction by Linda Wagner-Martin, who examines the life and literary accomplishments of Edith Wharton, a chronology, notes, and bibliography. Edited with an introduction by Linda Wagner-Martin. No library descriptions found. |
