Sanctuary was published in 1903 - only her third published fictional work, after The Touchstone (another novella) and The Valley of Decision. But if you have read any Wharton at all, the paragraph quoted below could serve as a synopsis of a condition that will feature in almost all her famous works - it is an apt description of the world of Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, Undine Spragg in The Custom of the Country and a whole cast of characters in The Age of Innocence.As Part One of Edith Wharton's novella, Sanctuary, is drawing to a close, young Kate Orme has just confirmed her fear that her fiance, Denis Peyton, has told her a devestating, and all too convenient, lie. It has shaken her deeply and she asks her father about it - he finds nothing wrong, indeed he feels Denis' behavior has been quite appropriate...Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize- winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public gures, including Theodore Roosevelt.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
