About This Item
Appleton-Century, NY , 1965. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. The best novels of Edith Whartton are classics. Such books as 'Ethan Frome' and the Pulitzer Prize-winner 'The Age of innocence', have proved to be of unique importance in American letters… Born into New York's 'Four Hundred' she shocked her set by putting them into novels so penetrating that they soon had a 'secces de sccandale'. Inevitably she found herself leading two lives - that of a proper Manhattan matron and that of an intimate of Henry James and other less socially acceptable writers and intellectuals." [Dust Jacket] There is a protective mylar cover. SECOND PRINTING.
