Edith Wharton cover

This book represents a comprehensive collection of contemporary reviews of the writing of Edith Wharton from the 1890s until her death in 1937. Many of the reviews are reprinted from hard-to-locate contemporary newspapers and periodicals. In addition, lists of other reviews not presented here are provided. These materials document the response of the reviewers to specific titles and indicate the development of Wharton's reputation as a novelist, short-story writer, travel writer, and autobiographer.

"All libraries serving serious students of literature should have these volumes." Q. Grigg, Choice
"...this handsome volume will be a vital reference work for Whartonians and a major document of Anglo-American literary history." Philip Horne, Times Literary Supplement
