Edith Wharton's Social Register: Fictions and Contexts

Edith Wharton's Social Register: Fictions and Contexts

by Claire Preston (Author)

Synopsis

In linked thematic sections, Claire Preston considers ideas of tribal inclusion and banishment, buccaneer figures whose money-energy overcomes tribal demarcations, and expatriatism, the self-imposed mode of exile which fed Wharton's apparently chilly empiricism and was the origin of some of her most important work.
