As a writer, though, she was an incredible success -- she had real insight into the people around her, and she could tell of them beautifully. She published her first story in 1889, and numerous books in the years that followed. Included in this collection of Edith Wharton's stories are "The Duchess at Prayer," "The Angel at the Grave," "The Recovery," "'Copy': A Dialogue," "The Rembrandt," "The Moving Finger," and "The Confessional." |

Contributor Bio(s): Wharton, Edith: - "Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt." |
