. . . a good part of his world of wonder had shrunk to a village peep-show. And the things which had kept their stimulating power—distant journeys, the enjoyment of art, the contact with new scenes and strange societies—were becoming less and less attainable. (16) Edith Wharton

How Henry James can help us make sense of the Gilded Age long gone—and the one now getting stripped of its shine.

The question today is the same as it was during the first Gilded Age: Will we fight for an economy and a democracy that works for all rather than a wealthy few?

"Gilded Age for me, but not for thee," is the pasty white guy's mantra.

4) "The Muse's Tragedy" (1899) by Edith Wharton I won't say this is the soul of romantic fiction, but I will think it very loudly.

Four of my favourite novels by women #IWD2025

In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs.- Edith Wharton

#InternationalWomensDay These are amazing authors & their works are incredible.? Edith Wharton - Ethan Frome Willa Cather - Death Comes for the Archbishop Ursula K. Le Guin - The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas Dorothy Allison - Bastard out of Carolina

If your teacher can't sell you on Thomas Hardy or Edith Wharton or Virgil or Shakespeare or whatever your definition of classical is, they are better teaching something that WILL engage you.

2 new titles to spot here! Spores of Doom (Tales of the Weird - poster) & Bewitched: The Ghostly Tales of Edith Wharton (Gilded Nightmares). Both out this month…

"Edith Wharton reflected that 'most purveyors of fiction will agree with me that the readers who pour out on the author of the published book such floods of interrogatory ink pay little heed to the isolated tale in a magazine.'"

I read this for the pictures, honestly, but the commentary is satisfactory as well.

A Self-Made Myth: How Edith Wharton Rewrote Her Own Childhood: https://buff.ly/3Ea8nFZ By Constance Roisin #wkb31

“Society…could not resist the diversion of throwing Varick and his former wife together… But Mrs Waythorn’s conduct remained irreproachable. She neither avoided Varick nor sought him out… She discovered the solution of the newest social problem.” – from “The Other Two” by Edith Wharton #booksky

Edith Wharton was *goodt* for penning some quality yearning, chile. My girl knew drawn out fires and desires, hopes deferred and denied. 🤌🏾

Quote of the Day "I have never known a novel that was good enough to be good in spite of its being adapted to the author's political views." -Edith Wharton (1862-1937)

Everyone does, really.
