| Book Description | Henry James prophesied to his girlfriend Edith Worton a prominent place in American literature, and within a few decades she would become the highest-paid novelist of her time. She was the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in 1920 for her novel The Age of Innocence As she was the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate from Bell University, critics have praised Eddie Wharton's ability to describe New York's wealthy community as no stranger to it. Rather, she was a descendant of a high-class family. She says in her autobiography: “It wasI have a society in front of me with all its insignificance and absurdity, which invites me to describe it because it is the closest topic to me if I grew up in this society since my childhood and I do not need to return to memoirs and circles of knowledge to know it.” It was neither favored nor appreciated, but society stigmatized it for one thing or another, and reading the Quartet after that as an integrated whole, not separate stories, opens us up new horizons, and deepens our understanding of New York City as Wharton sees it. |
