"The words 'I am...' are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you're claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you."

One of the most compelling things about Wharton was her highly developed aesthetic and social sensibility. This first fully illustrated biography is organized around the places Wharton lived and visited: Italy, France, Newport, Manhattan, and Lenox, Massachusetts. It shows her as gardener, artist, photographer, salon keeper, and literary star
| |  | | | The Word On The Street
Dwight evokes the vanished world that Wharton so graphically depicted in her fiction: croquet on the lawn at Newport, New York brownstone interiors, Italian landscapes and churches, the French front in World War I, the Riviera in the 20's.
