Book Overview

The Letters by Edith Wharton is a collection of personal letters written by the author herself over the course of her life. The book offers a unique insight into the life and mind of one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including Wharton's personal life, her travels, her writing process, and her relationships with other writers and artists. They also provide a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of the time, as Wharton corresponded with many of the leading figures of her day. The book is a must-read for fans of Edith Wharton, as well as anyone interested in the art of letter writing and the history of American literature.UP the long hill from the station at St.-Cloud, Lizzie West climbed in the cold spring sunshine. As she breasted the incline, she noticed the first waves of wistaria over courtyard railings and the high lights of new foliage against the walls of ivy-matted gardens; and she thought again, as she had thought a hundred times before, that she had never seen so beautiful a spring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton (1862­-1937) was a brilliant American writer known for such works as The House of Mirth and Ethan Frome. She became the first woman to win a Pulitzer when she was awarded the 1921 Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence. A member of the New York elite, Wharton funneled her experiences into vivid portrayals and critiques of high society, while deftly exposing the painful tension between personal desires and societal norms. Wharton died in Paris in 1937 at the age of 75, having written 85 short stories, 16 novels, 11 works of nonfiction, and 3 books of poetry.
