Edith Wharton: Art and Allusion,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Killoran demonstrates that an understanding of the particular typesof literary allusion to be found in Edith Wharton's novels produces freshreadings of her work and her life.Edith Wharton was extremely well read in many areas ofliterature, literary criticism, travel writing, social and natural sciences,history, and philosophy. Furthermore, she read prolifically in these andother subjects in English, French, German, and Italian. Wharton was alsointimately familiar with the fine arts, including painting, sculpture,architecture, and landscape gardening. Wharton's abiding knowledge of sucha wide range of subjects became the foundation for her use and inventionof many new types of literary allusion, some functioning much like theconceits of 17thcentury metaphysical poetry and others working togetherto form an elaborate code.As her writing progressed, Wharton invented increasinglysophisticated and entirely original types of allusion. To show that developingcomplexity, Killoran examines ten of Wharton's novels chronologically.A final chapter discusses the many previously unnoticed subtexts in thenovels examined and demonstrates that those subtexts provide unmistakableclues to intimate details of the author's life.Killoran calls for a reassessment not only of the criticalpossibilities of Wharton's work and the private life about which she wasso reticent but also of her position in American literature. Killoran concludesthat, as a bridge between the Victorians and the highly allusive modernistssuch as Eliot and Joyce, Edith Wharton stands independently as an Americanwriter of the first rank.
