Bringing together leading voices from across the globe, The
Bloomsbury Handbook to Edith Wharton represents state-of-the-art
scholarship on the American writer Edith Wharton, once primarily
known as a New York novelist. Focusing on Wharton's extensive body
of work and renaissance across 21st-century popular culture,
chapters consider: - Wharton in the context of queer studies, race
studies, whiteness studies, age studies, disability studies,
anthropological studies, and economics; - Wharton's achievements in
genres for which she deserves to be better known: poetry, drama,
the short story, and non-fiction prose; - Comparative studies with
Christina Rossetti, Henry James, and Willa Cather; -The places and
cultures Wharton documented in her writing, including France,
Greece, Italy, and Morocco; - Wharton's work as a reader and writer
and her intersections with film and the digital humanities.
Book-ended by Dale Bauer and Elaine Showalter, and with a foreword
by the Director and senior staff at The Mount, Wharton's historic
Massachusetts home, the Handbook underscores Wharton's lasting
impact for our new Gilded Age. It is an indispensable resource for
readers interested in Wharton and 19th- and 20th-century literature
and culture.
