Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) |
Edith Wharton excelled at complex characterization and insightful social commentary. Her books focused on America, particularly New York (hence Martin Scorsese's use of Wharton's The Age of Innocence - winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize - for his 1993 film of the same title). She was the first woman to receive an honorary Yale doctorate. |
