Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1905 and 1920. They average 7.5, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.
Editor’s note American novelist of Gilded Age New York, who knew its high society from the inside and dissected its rules and cruelties. The Age of Innocence, the most read and best rated, made her the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction: a young lawyer engaged to a perfect society girl falls for her unconventional cousin, the Countess Olenska. The House of Mirth follows Lily Bart’s slow fall from that world. Ethan Frome, a bleak, wintry New England tragedy often met at school, rates lowest.
