Book Description
"The study emphasizes the crucial role that Wharton's contact with Europe had on her writing, and the significance intellectually and politically of her relationship with Morton Fullerton and her reading of his books on politics. It locates Wharton in her period, surrounded as she was by discourses which called for political and social change, change which an outlook that Peel calls "American Toryism" made her reluctant to embrace. Her love of motorcars and her excitement about other technological developments such as aeroplanes was inspired by a feeling of exclusivity and not the democratization of culture, which she feared and condemned. France, England, Italy, and America formed the quartet of countries that contained the best and worst of culture, and Peel emphasizes how ironical it was that a writer whose ideological beliefs endorsed the importance of home, roots, and tradition should have spent so much of her life as a restless, apparently rootless traveler."--BOOK JACKET.

This unique collection is a rich representation of the works of one of the greatest 20th-century American writers, best known for her novels depicting the stifling conformity and ceremoniousness of the upper-class New York society into which she was born.

Book Description
She stayed there for a long time, in the hypnotized contemplation, not of Mrs. Cope's present, but of her own past. Gannett, early that morning, had gone off on a long walk--he had fallen into the habit of taking these mountain tramps with various fellow lodgers; but even had he been within reach she could not have gone to him just then. She had to deal with herself first. She was surprised to find how, in the last months, she had lost the habit of introspection. Since their coming to the Hotel Bellosguardo she and Gannett had tacitly avoided themselves and each other.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: bestanden, University of Leipzig (Institut für Amerikanistik), course: The 19th century in American female fiction, language: English, abstract: enforcements and become an independent human being. In which way she tries to "free" herself from the entrapment called marriage, which developments her way to her personal liberty goes through and if she eventually succeeds will be discussed in this term paper. In the first part of this term paper, I want to report briefly about the second half of the nineteenth century in America and the role of women, especially female writers. Afterward there will be a short look at the author's vita, because the way Wharton lived tells us much about her understanding of different themes. Then I want to analyze Wharton's short story 'Souls Belated' which contains a lot of themes and symbols, from which the most interesting will be described and interpreted. In a final conclusion I will try find an answer to the essential topic of Wharton's story: Does the protagonist succeed in escaping the social conventions due to her divorce or does she fail? And is it possible at all to "free" oneself of the social imprisonment of the time described, particularly as a woman? This term paper focuses on the thesis, that 'Souls Belated' is mirroring the social conditions of Edith Wharton's 19th century New York Society and the institution of marriage as a kind of cage for women.
