Yazar hakkında
Edith Wharton (January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was a prominent American novelist, short story writer, and designer who is perhaps best remembered for her keen insight into the social mores and restrictions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born into a wealthy New York family, Wharton was privy to the manners and expectations of high society, which she deftly explored in her literature. With an extensive oeuvre that includes works like 'The Age of Innocence,' for which she won the Pulitzer Prize, and 'Ethan Frome,' Wharton carved out a space for herself in the literary canon as an astute observer and chronicler of the human condition. In 'French Ways and Their Meaning,' Wharton delved into cultural criticism, reflecting on the differences between American and French culture during her time living abroad. Known for her vivid depictions and subtle criticisms of the societal conventions that often constrained individuals, particularly women, from realizing their potential, Wharton's literary style combines elegant prose with an incisive wit, striking a balance between empathy and irony. Her contribution to American literature is recognized both for its narrative strength and its sociological significance.
