Home of Edith Warton last May 2010
Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was born into a tightly controlled society known as "Old New York" at a time when women were discouraged from achieving anything beyond a proper marriage.
Wharton broke through these strictures to become one of America's greatest writers. Author of The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome, and The House of Mirth, she wrote over 40 books in 40 years, including authoritative works on architecture, gardens, interior design, and travel. Essentially self-educated, she was the first woman awarded:
the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University
full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters
Edith Wharton designed and built her "first real home," The Mount, in 1902.
