Product Description

Synopsis

Edith Wharton (1862-1937), born Edith Newbold Jones, was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humourous and incisive novels and short stories. Wharton was well-acquainted with many of her era's literary and public figures, including Henry James and Theodore Roosevelt. Besides her writing, she was a highly regarded landscape architect, interior designer, and taste-maker of her time. She wrote several influential books, including The Decoration of Houses (1897), her first published work, and Italian Villas and Their Gardens (1904). The Age of Innocence (1920), perhaps her best known work, won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature, making her the first woman to win the award. Her other works include: The Greater Inclination (1899), The Touchstone (1900), Sanctuary (1903), The Descent of Man, and Other Stories (1904), The House of Mirth (1905), Madame De Treymes (1907), The Fruit of the Tree (1907), The Hermit and the Wild Woman, and Other Stories (1908), Ethan Frome (1912), In Morocco (1921), and The Glimpses of the Moon (1921).

4.0 out of 5 stars Elite Morocco in the twenties, 14 Nov 2009
By Mr. P. Baker (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: In Morocco (Paperback)
This is a great snapshot of Morocco in the 1920s, under the French mandate. Edith Wharton is a great writer, and her elite links meant that she had access to more of Morocco (by military jeep, no less)than most. The prejudices of her social class do show through though, particularly in her gushing praise for the colonial administration. Nevertheless, Edith had a sharp eye, unique opportunities and was a great writer. This is a great companion to a trip around Morocco, or to learn more after a visit.
