It is fully annotated for undergraduate readers. "Backgrounds and
Contexts" includes a rich selection of materials, some previously
unavailable, for the study of contemporary psychological, social,
and economic issues, as well as Wharton's private correspondence
and writings and biographical accounts of the author. Arranged
under two headings, "Criticism" reveals Ethan Frome's impact as
both a literary work and a social commentary. "Contemporary
Reviews" consists of eight prominent assessments of Ethan Frome,
including reviews from the New York Times Book Review, Outlook, The
Nation, the Saturday Review, and those penned by Frederic Taber
Cooper and Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, among others. "Modern
Criticism" (1956-1991) includes seven interpretations of the
novella by Lionel Trilling, Elizabeth Ammons, Judith Fryer, Jean
Frantz Blackall, Lev Raphael, Candace Waid, and Cynthia Griffin
Wolff. A Chronology and a Selected Bibliography are also included.
This book represents the first comprehensive collection of
contemporary reviews of the writing of Edith Wharton from the 1890s
until her death in 1937. Many of the reviews are reprinted from
hard-to-locate contemporary newspapers and periodicals. In
addition, lists of other reviews not presented here are provided.
These materials document the response of the reviewers to specific
titles and indicate the development of Wharton's reputation as a
novelist, short story writer, travel writer, and autobiographer.
