Her sense of exile urges Wharton to settle in Europe, where she appreciates French culture and develops a vision of literary cosmopolitanism. In her major fiction\u2014<em>The House of Mirth<\/em> (1905), <em>The Custom of the Country<\/em> (1913), and <em>The Age of Innocence<\/em> (1920)\u2014Wharton looks back on her American country, and reflects on the gender and class roles that restrict the individual. Her experience with the continuity of traditions in Europe fuels her critique of the \u201ccustom of the country,\u201d namely, women\u2019s exile from American politics and business. In <em>French Ways and their Meaning<\/em> (1919), she further contrasts French cosmopolitanism to American provincialism, illustrating her emotional, intellectual, and sexual growth. Wharton\u2019s development as an individual and an author triggers her experimentation with various genres, from novels and architectural treatises to travel memoirs, essays, and ghost stories.
