Autorenporträt
Edith Wharton, born Edith Newbold Jones on January 24, 1862, was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton broke new ground in literature by being one of the first women to publish a work of fiction, 'The Decoration of Houses' (1897), a pioneering work on interior design co-authored with architect Ogden Codman. However, she is best known for her literary works that keenly depict the upper-class society into which she was born. Her narrative style is noted for its incisive and witty social commentary, often highlighting the contrast between old-world values and the changing social mores of her time. Wharton's major novels include the Pulitzer Prize-winning 'The Age of Innocence' (1920), 'Ethan Frome' (1911), and 'The House of Mirth' (1905). While the reference to 'Mr. Jones' does not correspond to her well-known canon, the fluidity of her prose and the depth of her characters are evident in all her writings. A contemporary of Henry James, Wharton's work is imbued with a similar psychological complexity and an exploration of ethical ambiguities within the rigid confines of society. She published over forty books in her lifetime, including novels, short stories, poetry, and non-fiction, leaving an indelible mark on American literature. She passed away on August 11, 1937, leaving behind a legacy as an astute chronicler of her milieu and a trailblazer for future women writers.
