Course Description

Edith Wharton was an American writer who drew on her personal knowledge of the upper-class New York populace to realistically capture the morals and lives during the Gilded Age. She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, and her books such as THE AGE OF INNOCENCE, ETHAN FROME, and THE HOUSE OF MIRTH are still read and taught today. This class will center on her short stories from two books: THE GHOST STORIES OF EDITH WHARTON (Wordsworth Edition, 2009) and ROMAN FEVER AND OTHER STORIES (Scribner Paperback Edition, 1997). The writing of Wharton, who was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1996, is often compared with that of Henry James
