Aha! That's Where Undine Sprague Comes From,
By
This review is from: The Sexual Education of Edith Wharton (Hardcover)
There is a deep sense of irony in a lot of Edith Wharton's work. It seems puzzling given her time and gender-this is not a voice typical of nineteenth century women. Along comes Gloria Erlich, an independent scholar with an
account of Wharton's childhood with an aloof mother followed by a celibate marriage (?! as they might say in chess-talk). All of a sudden, Wharton's voice becomes easier to understand and her female characters a lot more accessible. Score one for independent scholars. --Lynn Hoffman, author of THE NEW SHORT COURSE IN WINE and the sexually well-educated bang BANG: A Novel |
