Información del libro
Edith Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, for her novel The Age of Innocence.Among her other well known works are The House of Mirth and the novella Ethan Frome.Wharton's writings often dealt with themes such as social and individual fulfillment, repressed sexuality, and the manners of old families and the new elite.A key recurring theme in Wharton's writing is the relationship between the house as a physical space and its relationship to its inhabitant's characteristics and emotions.Contents: The NovelsFast and LooseThe Valley of DecisionSanctuaryThe House of MirthThe Fruit of the TreeEthan FromeThe ReefThe Custom of the CountrySummerThe Age of InnocenceThe Glimpses of the MoonA Son at the FrontThe Mother's RecompenseTwilight SleepThe ChildrenHudson River BracketedThe Gods ArriveThe Buccaneers The NovellasThe TouchstoneMadame de TreymesThe MarneOld New York The Short Story CollectionsThe Greater InclinationCrucial InstancesThe Descent of Man and Other StoriesThe Hermit and the Wild Woman and Other StoriesTales of Men and GhostsUncollected Early Short StoriesXingu and Other StoriesHere and BeyondCertain PeopleHuman NatureThe World OverGhosts The Short StoriesList of Stories in Chronological OrderList of Stories in Alphabetical Order The PlayThe Joy of Living The PoetryArtemis to Actaeon and Other VersesUncollected Poetry The Non-FictionThe Decoration of HousesItalian Villas and Their GardensItalian BackgroundsA Motor-Flight Through FranceFrance, from Dunkerque to BelfortFrench Ways and Their MeaningIn MoroccoThe Writing of Fiction The AutobiographyA Backward Glance
