The Stuff of Life: Reading Wharton in the 21st Century
Why read Edith Wharton today? Many readers think of her as a writer only of novels about upper-class New York Society, yet her work covered a wide variety of genres and multiple social classes. This exhibit explores the complex and universal themes in her work and asks why some authors’ work endures long after they are gone.
