Large format trade paperback, published by the University of Texas Press, 2004. A first trade paperback edition. 546 pages with Index, Notes and extensive Appendices. A very thorough biography of Edith Wharton from her early life, her writing career as the social chronicler of her age, as well as her philanthropic work and experiences traveling and during WWI. This copy would appear to be an unread, unused copy. There are no former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. It is not a library discard, not a remainder. The binding is tight and square. The edges of the text block are clean. There is some sun fading to the spine portion of the cover, not very noticeable though since the purple color of the cover is fairly light in tone when comparing the front cover to the spine. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo. We have several Wharton titles listed.

From the jacket flap: "During her lifetime Edith Wharton was America's most prolific and popular writer . . . Shari Benstock's discoveries shed new light on many of the key mysteries of Wharton's life: the question of her paternity, her marriage to the manic-depressive Teddy Wharton, and her extramarital affair with the bi-sexual Morton Fullerton, which began in 1908 and finally pushed her to divorce . . . Set against a backdrop of the powerful social, cultural and economic changes in the war years, the belle epoque and the jazz age, and the 1930s depression in Europe, this biography of Edith Wharton re-creates her life both as a woman and as a writer."… Read More
