Description

Explore the complex social landscapes of Edith Wharton through this scholarly analysis by Claire Preston. This work examines how Wharton used the emerging disciplines of anthropology, sociology, and evolutionary theory to shape her famous social fictions. By looking at her writing through these intellectual lenses, the text reveals how she viewed her world in terms of belonging and exile, spatial boundaries, and tribal behavior. Preston investigates the struggle to protect the Old World from the cultural and territorial threats of the Great War. The book is organized into linked thematic sections that look at specific social dynamics. You will find deep analysis of tribal inclusion and banishment, as well as the role of buccaneer figures whose money and energy challenge established tribal demarcations. This study provides a clear view of the expatriate experience and the social structures that defined Wharton's era.
