Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Having grown up in an upper-class, tightly controlled society known as “Old New York” at a time when women were discouraged from achieving anything beyond a proper marriage, Wharton broke through these strictures to become one of that society’s fiercest critics as well as one of America’s greatest writers. The author of more than 40 books in 40 years, Wharton’s oeuvre includes classic works of American literature such as The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, The Age of Innocence, and Ethan Frome, as well as authoritative works on architecture, gardens, interior design, and travel.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Did the Anglican-bred Catholic-affiliate lame writer E. Clerihew Bentley name White Gables after White Gates? Well he shouldn’t have kept on and on with his litany of references to American writers whose ghost stories unfold with more veracity than his ridiculous attempt at crime fiction. This Wharton story can’t help but remind today’s readers that we probably do now live in an Ira Levin world.
