A New York Review Books OriginalEdith Wharton wrote about New York as only a native can. Her Manhattan is a city of wellappointed drawing rooms, hansoms and broughams, allnight cotillions, and resplendent Fifth Avenue flats. Bishops nieces mingle with bachelor industrialists; respectable wives turn into excellent mistresses. All are governed by a code of behavior as rigid as it is precarious. What fascinates Wharton are the points of weakness in the structure of Old New York: the artists and writers at its fringes, the freelove advocates testing its limits, widows and divorces struggling to hold their own.The New York Stories of Edith Wharton gathers twenty stories of the city, written over the course of Whartons career. From her first published story, Mrs. Mansteys View, to one of her last and most celebrated, Roman Fever, this new collection charts the growth of an American master and enriches our understanding of the central themes of her work, among them the meaning of marriage, the struggle for artistic integrity, the bonds between parent and child, and the plight of the aged.Illuminated by Roxana Robinsons Introduction, these stories showcase Whartons astonishing insight into the turbulent inner lives of the men and women caught up in a rapidly changing society.
