- Edith Wharton (1862-1937), American author best known for her stories and ironic novels about upper class people. Wharton's central subjects were the conflict between social and individual fulfillment, repressed sexuality, and the manners of old families and the 'nouveau riche', who had made their fortunes in more recent years. In the 1890s Wharton started to contribute to Scribner's Magazine. Her first collection of short stories appeared in the late 1890s. Wharton gained her first literary success with her book The House Of Mirth (1905), a story of a beautiful but poor woman, Lily Bart, trying to survive in the pitiless New York City. The Custom Of The Country (1913) was a story of a young ambitious woman. Among Wharton's most famous novels is The Age Of Innocence (1920), which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Wharton's other major works include the long tale Ethan Frome (1911) which was set in impoverished rural New England and The Reef (1912). The novel Hudson River Bracketed (1929) and its sequel The Gods Arrive (1932) compared the cultures of Europe and the sections of the U.S. she knew. Wharton also wrote poems, essays, travel books and her autobiography, A Backward Glance (1934).
