EDITH WHARTON(I***N=9780375702877) mobi 下载 网盘 caj lrf pdf txt 阿里云

From Hermione Lee, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning

biographer of Virginia Woolf and Willa Cather, comes

a superb reexamination of one of the most famous American women of

letters.

Delving into heretofore untapped sources, Lee does away with the

image of the snobbish bluestocking and gives us a new Edith

Wharton-tough, startlingly modern, as brilliant and complex as her

fiction. Born into a wealthy family, Wharton left America as an

*** and eventually chose to create a life in France. Her renowned

novels and stories have become classics of American li***ture, but

as Lee shows, Wharton's own life, filled with success and scandal,

was as intriguing as those of her heroines. Bridging two centuries

and two very different sensibilities, Wharton here comes to life in

the skillful hands of one of the great li***ry biographers of our

time.
