Entrapment in the Literature of Edith Wharton

Cory Welch
Edith Wharton (1862-1937) is highly regarded as one of the major figures of American literature. Several of her works, among them The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, The Custom of the Country, and The Age of Innocence, rank among the finest American novels ever written. The publication of the hugely popular The House of Mirth, in 1905, launched a successful literary career for Wharton in which she ultimately published over forty books of essays, travelogues, short story collections, and, of course, novels. In 1920, Wharton was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Innocence.
