'...in this study, Goodwyn sets the standard for Wharton
criticism.' - Judith E. Funston, American Literature;'Janet Goodwyn
sets out, by looking at Wharton's appropriation of different
cultures, to nail the 'canard' that she was 'but a pale imitator of
Henry James' - Hermione Lee, Times Literary Supplement; The Land of
Letters was henceforth to be my country and I gloried in my new
citizenship'. So Edith Wharton described her elation upon the
publication of her first collection of short stories; her
nationality was henceforth writer' and as such she moved with ease
between landscapes, between cultures and between genres in the
telling of her tales. In this acclaimed study of Wharton's work,
the discussion is shaped by her use of specific landscapes and her
consistent concern with ideas of place: the American's place in the
Western world, the woman's place in her own and in European
society, and the author's place in the larger life of a culture.
Her landscapes, both actual and metaphorical, give structure and
point to the individual texts and to the whole body of her work.
