Comprehensive, sound in its scholarship, clear and concise in style, this book is highly recommended as a valuable resource to all students and specialists in American literature and narrative art.". "Killoran makes an important contribution in her exhaustive study of literary allusions in Wharton's fictionSurely someone who has worked so much with designers knows about their contribution to the `pickupability' of advertising material? A minor quibble, but a valid one.. Too often the tragic past is sugar coated; this most defiantly is not. My own grandfather served in WWI in France & was gassed during that time. This is an excellent book for group study. I realize that an American tradition is mocking great writers and painters, but this is ridiculous. What I mean is that in this view, He really did not take on Human Nature all the way.

The book concludes that as a bridge between the Victorian and modern periods, Edith Wharton should stand independently as an American writer of the first rank.. The effect of this study is to require reassessment not only of the critical possibilities of Edith Wharton's work and the private life about which she was so reticent, but also of her position in American literature. Despite the popularity of Edith Wharton's novels and stories, her artistic genius has never been fully appreciated
