Artemis to Actaeon and Other Verse

This vintage book contains a fantastic collection of verse written by Edith Wharton. Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was an American novelist, designer, and writer of short stories. She married her uniquely insightful experience of America's aristocracy with a natural wit, in order to construct humorous novels and short stories that boast uncanny understanding on a social and psychological level. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1921 for her novel &quote;The Age of Innocence&quote;. Contents include: &quote;Artemis to Actaeon&quote;, &quote;Life&quote;, &quote;Vesalius in Zante&quote;, &quote;Margaret of Cortona&quote;, &quote;A Torchbearer&quote;, &quote;The Mortal Lease&quote;, &quote;Experience&quote;, &quote;Grief&quote;, &quote;Chartres&quote;, &quote;Two Backgrounds&quote;, &quote;The Tomb of Ilaria Giunigi&quote;, &quote;The One Grief&quote;, &quote;The Eumenides&quote;, &quote;Orpheus&quote;, &quote;An Autumn Over Tyringham&quote;, etcetera. Many texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.
