A standard introductory essay and brief biography along with Dale Bauer\u2019s overview of the current state of Wharton studies provide context for the rest of the essays. Some of these essays cover familiar ground in Whartonia, such as the role of women and economics; others present interesting forays into less familiar subjects. Hannah Huber offers an insightful comparison of Wharton and her contemporary Charlotte Perkins Gilman via the subject of eugenics. Mollie Barnes\u2019s essay on literary history in The Age of Innocence provides an autobiographical and a textual appreciation of Wharton\u2019s own reading. Finally, Robert Klevay captures the sharp dynamics of Wharton\u2019s friendship with Henry James in his comparative of Wharton\u2019s \u201cRoman Fever\u201d and James\u2019s Daisy Miller. This collection will appeal to Americanists as well as Wharton Scholars.<\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salem Press, 2018<br \/>\n<br \/><strong>Editor: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nord.no\/en\/about\/employees\/myrto-drizou\" target=\"_blank\">Myrto Drizou<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":7546,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"coauthors":[4],"class_list":["post-8798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bookshelf"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bookshelf: Critical Insights: Edith Wharton - Department of English<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This volume examines a wide range of Edith Wharton\u2019s works, from her major novels\u2014The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of Innocence\u2014to her war writings, novellas, and late fiction, such as The Children.
