Ruthless and predatory, Edith Whartons seductive young heroine Undine Spragg exploits a series of husbands from the American west to New York and France in her search for one with the ideal combination of social power, money, and material possessionssomething more luxurious, more exciting, more worthy of her! Whartons criticism of the leisureclass marriage market becomes a brilliant satire on the nature of desire, as the novel links marriage and divorce with selfish ambition and the culture of consumerism.This Broadview edition provides a critical introduction and appendices that include Whartons outline for and correspondence about The Custom of the Country, excerpts from Friedrich de la Motte Fouqus novella Undine, and passages from works by Charles Darwin, Emma Goldman, Henry James, and Thorstein Veblen, among others.
