The Letters by Edith Wharton is a collection of the author's personal correspondence spanning over fifty years of her life. The letters provide a unique insight into the mind and life of one of the most celebrated American writers of the early 20th century. The book includes letters to and from Wharton's family, friends, publishers, and other notable figures of the time. The correspondences cover a wide range of topics, including Wharton's writing process, her travels, her relationships, and her opinions on social and political issues. The letters also reveal Wharton's wit, intelligence, and keen observation of the world around her. The collection is edited by R.W.B. Lewis, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Wharton, and includes a comprehensive introduction and detailed notes to provide context for the letters. Overall, The Letters offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most beloved authors and provides valuable insights into the literary and cultural history of the early 20th century.UP the long hill from the station at St.-Cloud, Lizzie West climbed in the cold spring sunshine. As she breasted the incline, she noticed the first waves of wistaria over courtyard railings and the high lights of new foliage against the walls of ivy-matted gardens; and she thought again, as she had thought a hundred times before, that she had never seen so beautiful a spring.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
