Description
London: Eveleigh Nash & Grayson Limited, 1924. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Good/Very Good. Buchel, Charles A. 1924 2nd UK printing in scarce jacket. Good in very good jacket. Edges, endpapers, and reverse of jacket foxed, 1 inch closed jacket tear, minor wear to jacket corners. 224 pp. Charles A. Buchel jacket art. A novella in which a man falls in love with his wife's cousin, by the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (1921, The Age of Innocence). Inspiration for 1993 film starring Liam Neeson, Patricia Arquette, Joan Allen and Tate Donovan. "The setting for this piercing New England novel is the aptly named Starkfield, where, despite violently blue skies, the chill of cold and snow seems to have settled in the hearts of its inhabitants. Tethered to his farm, first by helpless parents, later by his querulous, hypochondriac wife Zeena, Ethan Frome ekes out a living. Then Zeena's cousin, the impoverished and enchanting Mattie Silver, comes to work for them, and Ethan's hopes and dreams are rekindled. Yet theirs is a forbidden love, constrained by Zeena's presence. And the impossible intensity in which the three exist will have devastating consequences for all." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "America's most famous woman of letters, and the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, Edith Wharton was born into one of the last 'leisured class' families in New York City, as she put it, in 1862. Educated privately, she was married to Edward Wharton in 1885, and for the next few years, they spent their time in the high society of Newport (Rhode Island), then Lenox (Massachusetts) and Europe. It was in Europe that Wharton first met Henry James, who was to have a profound and lasting influence on her life and work. Wharton's first published book was a work of nonfiction, in collaboration with Ogden Codman, The Decoration of Houses (1897), but from early on, her marriage had been a source of distress, and she was advised by her doctor to write fiction to relieve her nervous tension. Wharton's first short stories appeared in Scribner's Magazine, and though she published several volumes of fiction around the turn of the century, including The Greater Inclination (1899), The Touchstone (1900), Crucial Instances (1901), The Valley of Decision (1902), Sanctuary (1903), and The Descent of Man and Other Stories (1904), it wasn't until 1905, with the publication of the bestselling The House of Mirth, that she was recognized as one of the most important novelists of her time for her keen social insight and subtle sense of satire. In 1906, Wharton visited Paris, which inspired Madame de Treymes (1907), and made her home there in 1907, finally divorcing her husband in 1912. The years before the outbreak of World War I represent the core of her artistic achievement, when Ethan Frome (1911), The Reef (1912), and The Custom of the Country (1913) were published. During the war, she remained in France organizing relief for Belgian refugees, for which she was later awarded the Legion of Honor. She also wrote two novels about the war, The Marne (1918) and A Son at the Front (1923), and continued, in France, to write about New England and the Newport society she had known so well in Summer (1917), the companion to Ethan Frome, and The Age of Innocence (1920), for which she won the Pulitzer Prize. Wharton died in France in 1937. Her other works include Old New York (1924), The Mother's Recompense (1925), The Writing of Fiction (1925), The Children (1928), Hudson River Bracketed (1929), and her autobiography, A Backward Glance (1934).
