Extractions: RLIN Record ID: Edith Newbold Jones Wharton was born on January 24, 1862 into a distinguished New York family. Wharton was privately educated and began at an early age to write, a habit viewed by her family as unsuitable for a woman of her social class and as an eccentricity best ignored and left undiscussed. Her first published work consisted of a group of poems published anonymously in 1878 under the title Verses In 1885 the twenty-three year old Edith Jones married Edward Wharton, a wealthy Bostonian who was thirteen years her senior. They divided their year between New York and Newport and later Lenox, Massachusetts, where Edith Wharton had designed a home called "The Mount." In 1897 she co-authored a book with Ogden Codman, Jr., titled The Decoration of Houses. Two years later a collection of her short stories was published as The Greater Inclination.

Extractions: The Reef Search all of Edith Wharton American author, who cultivated the form of the traditional 19th-century novel, best-known for her stories and ironic novels about upper class people. Wharton's central subjects were the conflict between social and individual fulfillment, repressed sexuality, and the manners of old families and the 'nouveau riche', who had made their fortunes in more recent years. The Whartons spent much time in Europe from 1906. Although she maintained after their divorce in 1913 a residence in the U.S., she continued to live in France, where she spent the rest of her life. She became a literary hostess to young writers at her Paris apartment and her garden home in the south of France. Among her friends were Henry James, Walter Berry and Bernard Berenson. During World War I Wharton wrote reports for American newspaper. She assisted in organizing the American Hostel for Refugees, and the Children of Flanders Rescue Committee, taking charge of 600 Belgian children who had to leave their orphanage at the time of the German advance. She was also active in fund-raising activities, participating in the production of an illustrated anthology of war writings by prominent authors and artists of the period. Her last visits to the U.S. were in 1913 and 1923. However, many of her works still had American settings. Wharton's favorite place to write was her bedroom.

Extractions: Edith Wharton was born Edith Newbold Jones to George and Lucretia Jones in New York City on January 24, 1862. She belonged to an aristocratic New York family with ancestry dating back three centuries. As a daughter of society , her role was to learn the mannerisms and rituals expected of well-bred young women in those days. Later she would rebel against this role but as a child she was schooled at home and had the privilege of use of her father's extensive library. She was privately educated at home and in Europe by governesses and tutors. In 1885, Wharton married Teddy Wharton, who was twelve years older than she was. They lived a life of relative ease with homes in New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Slowly, Wharton grew dissatisfied with the roles of wife and society matron. When she discovered Teddy had taken money from her to provide a home for his mistress in Boston, their marriage fell apart. Also, Wharton had met and fallen in love with Morton Fullerton and had been sexually awakened as a 46 year old woman living virtually on her own in Paris. Wharton divorced in 1913. Between 1900 and 1938, Wharton created many, many novels. The publication of the House of Mirth in 1905 marked the true beginning of Wharton¹s literary career. She continued to publish rapidly, producing, among others, Ethan Frome in 1911.

Extractions: or presentations of published writers. By Cindy F. Ovard "What is one's personality, detached from that of one friends with whom fate happens to have linked one? I can not think of myself a part from the influence of two or three of the greatest friendships in my life, and any account of my own growth must be that of their stimulating and enlightening influence." Edith Wharton In a day when women were to look at and nothing more, they weren't intelligent, they were fashionable, Edith stood out alone. Her first recollection of her early childhood days came when she was five and dressed to go walking down Fifth Avenue with her father. The servant placed a brand new white, satin bonnet on her head and her hands were encased in white woolen mittens. It was this day she realized the importance of dress, and that she herself was a subject of adornment. That was the day Wharton called her real birth to the conscious side of a girl.
