Description
New York, N.Y: Scribner Paperback Fiction/Simon and Schuster, 1997. 2nd Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 5x0x8. 2nd printing. An excellent copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1997 Trade Paperback. 276 pp. Introduction by Cynthia Griffin Wolff. Contains the short stories "Roman Fever," "Xingu," "The Other Two," "Souls Belated," "The Angel at the Grave," "The Last Asset," and "After Holbein." Aside from her Pulitzer Prize-winning talent as a novel writer, Edith Wharton also distinguished herself as a short story writer, publishing more than seventy-two stories in ten volumes during her lifetime. The best of her short fiction is collected here in Roman Fever and Other Stories. From her picture of erotic love and illegitimacy in the title story to her exploration of the aftermath of divorce detailed in "Souls Belated" and "The Last Asset," Wharton shows her usual skill "in dissecting the elements of emotional subtleties, moral ambiguities, and the implications of social restrictions," as Cynthia Griffin Wolff writes in her introduction. Roman Fever and Other Stories is a surprisingly contemporary volume of stories by one of our most enduring writers.
