"In her fiction, Wharton would have been able to flesh out her protagonist and add more psychological depth. She could have flashed back to Kate’s friendship with Agnes and her subsequent relationship with John. In the play, the latter seems like such a basic chap that you have to wonder what Kate saw in him at all."

Edith e la "ricerca" della felicità...anche per vincere il Pulitzer
“Ci sono un sacco di modi per sentirti depressi ma c'è solo un modo per essere a proprio agio ed è smettere di correre in cerca della felicità."
Oggi nel 1862 nasceva la scrittrice e poetessa #EdithWharton, prima donna a vincere il premio #Pulitzer.
Libro consigliato: La casa della gioia (1905)

These days #Democracy #Equality #FreeSpeech mean folks don't cow-tow to #Heirs& #Graces.They stand up to bullying, controlling, gaslighting w/own truth. #Spare

Wharton made her female protagonists sympathetic through their tragic circumstances and choices. Though they may not be rendered destitute, they may feel forced to trade love in for security, and acceptability.

68 followers · 7 posts · Server hcommons.socialIf I ever have a book agent, I want that person to be as doggedly relentless as #EdithWharton was in promoting Howard Sturgis's Belchamber. She *would not quit,* even after Scribner's turned down the book. Paraphrased: "They love it in Boston, but no, you wouldn't listen to me & now it's too late," she tells a patient Charles Scribner, whose consistent message is "really what we want is more of YOUR books, Mrs. W."

Hi, I’m Sheila.
I’m an #EdithWharton impersonator (aka English professor), paid funeral attendee (aka #bagpiper), all-purpose nuisance (aka #accordion player) and general layabout (aka #writer) interested in a whole mess of things including #C19Studies #americanlit #bookhistory #cnf #mediatheory etc etc etc
Really bad at this social media stuff and getting worse every day. Pleased to meet you.
