Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton combined an insider’s view of American aristocracy with a powerful prose style. Her novels and short stories realistically portrayed the lives and morals of the late nineteenth century, an era of decline and faded wealth. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in 1921, and was the first woman to receive this honor. Wharton was acquainted with many of the well-known people of her day, both in America and in Europe, including President Theodore Roosevelt.This collection contains 11 short stories and 32 poems by Edith Wharton originally published in magazines between 1880 -1927 and include the following:STORIES:Mrs. Manstey’s View The Fulness of Life The Lamp of Psyche That Good May Come The Valley of Childish Things and Other Emblems April Showers Line of Least Resistance The House of the Dead Hand The Introducers Writing a War Story All Souls’POEMS:The Parting Day, Aeropagus, Patience, A Failure, Wants, The Last Giustianini, Euryalus, Happiness, Botticelli’s Madonna in the Louvre, The Tomb of Ilaria Giunigi, The Sonnet, Experience, Chartres, Jade, Phaedra, The One Grief, Mould and Vase, Uses, The Bread of Angels, Moonrise over Tyringham, Ogrin the Hermit, The Comrade, Summer Afternoon (Bodiam Castle, Sussex), Pomegranate Seed, The Hymn of the Lusitania, The Great Blue Tent, Battle Sleep, On Active Service, You and You, With the Tide, Belgium, Terminus
