The Collected Works of Edith Wharton

This is a novel of the aristocratic society of New York in the early 1900s. Lily Bart, beautiful, witty and sophisticated, is accepted by &apos;old money&apos; and courted by the growing tribe of nouveaux riches. But as she nears thirty, her foothold becomes precarious; a poor girl with expensive tastes, she needs a husband to preserve her social standing, and to maintain her in the luxury she has come to expect. Whilst many have sought her, something, fastidiousness or integrity, prevents her from making a &apos;suitable&apos; match.

The House of Mirth (Unabridged)

HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.'I want – I want somehow to get away with you into a world where words like that – categories like that – won't exist. Where we shall be simply two human beings who love each other, who are the whole of life to each other; and nothing else on earth will matter.’Newland Archer, a successful and charming young lawyer conducts himself by the rules and standards of the polite, upper class New York society that he resides in. Happily engaged to the pretty and conventional May Welland, his attachment guarantees his place in this rigid world of the elite.However, the arrival of May’s cousin, the exotic and beautiful European Countess Olenska throws Newland’s life upside down. A divorcee, Olenska is ostracised by those around her, yet Newland is fiercely drawn to her wit, determination and willingness to flout convention. With the Countess, Newland is freed from the limitations that surround him and truly begins to ‘feel’ for the first time.Wharton’s subtle exposé of the manners and etiquette of 1870s New York society is both comedic, subtle, satirical and cynical in style and paints an evocative picture of a man torn between his passion and his obligation.

The Age of Innocence

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.‘Do you remember what you said to me once? That you could help me only by loving me? Well-you did love me for a moment; and it helped me. It has always helped me.’Lily Bart, an attractive young woman living in New York City, relies on beauty and charm to ensure economic survival. Determined to marry into wealth to support her expensive lifestyle, Lily denies her feelings for Lawrence Stern due to his modest income. She turns instead towards young millionaire, Percy Grace. During her pursuit of money and status, Lily becomes the agent of her own undoing. Events take a tragic turn and her reputation is ruined by scandal. She is unwilling to adhere to the standards of New York’s social elitism, which leads to devastating consequences.Wharton’s stunning and disturbing commentary on the role of women in this irresponsible, hedonistic society will delight those enchanted by her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel ‘The Age of Innocence’.

The House of Mirth

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.‘He looked at her hair and longed to touch it again, and to tell her that it smelt of the woods; but he had never learned to say such things…’One harsh winter in 1900s New England, Ethan Frome toils at his farm while struggling to maintain a bearable existence with his forbidding wife, Zeena. When Ethan takes Zeena’s cousin, Mattie, home from a dance he is entranced: Mattie brings with her the possibility for happiness, and with that she quickly becomes a symbol of hope for Ethan.First published in 1911, Ethan Frome is an intimate look at choices not made and lives not yet lived. Told through the eyes of a city outsider, this heartbreaking portrait of three lives haunted by thwarted dreams remains for many the most subtle and moving of Wharton’s works.

Newland Archer, an eligible young man of the establishment is about to announce his engagement to May Welland, a pretty ingénue, when May&apos;s cousin, Countess Olenska, is introduced into their circle.

A passionate bond develops between the Countess and Newland. With society on the side of May and all she stands for, Newland finds himself drawn into a bitter conflict between love and duty.

Age of Innocence

A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Retold for Learners of English by Susan Kingsley.
Life is always hard for the poor, in any place and at any time. Ethan Frome is a farmer in Massachusetts. He works long hours every day, but his farm makes very little money. His wife, Zeena, is a thin, grey woman, always complaining, and only interested in her own ill health.
Then Mattie Silver, a young cousin, comes to live with the Fromes, to help Zeena and do the housework. Her bright smile and laughing voice bring light and hope into the Fromes’ house – and into Ethan’s lonely life.
But poverty is a prison from which few people escape…

Este ensayo conforma el último capítulo de la obra Escribir ficción que la prolífica escritora estadounidense Edith Wharton publicó en entregas en 1925 y en la que ofrece comentarios generales sobre las raíces de la ficción moderna, las múltiples formas en las que se puede escribir una obra de ficción y el desarrollo de la forma y el estilo. Contemporánea del autor de En busca del tiempo perdido, quedó impresionada por la forma en que Proust manipula tiempos y espacios en su novelística: lo llama un «dador de vida», quien a través de los recuerdos aletargados de un niño que reconstruyen la visita de un viejo amigo a casa de sus padres, logra darnos la sensación -el efecto- de las pisadas del destino. Para Wharton no hay nada superfluo en Proust. Todo ese rumiar del narrador, ese fervor al detalle, hacen de En busca del tiempo perdido un análisis inigualable y nunca superado de la «semiconciencia, las oscuras asociaciones del pensamiento y las viscosas fluctuaciones del humor».
