Abstract

Emily Orlando is co-editor and a contributing author (with Meredith L. Goldsmith), "Introduction: Edith Wharton, A Citizen of the World," p.1-15.

Edith Wharton and Cosmopolitanism shows that Wharton was highly engaged with global issues of her time, due in part to her extensive travel abroad. Examining both her canonical and lesser-known works and including her art historical discoveries, her political writings, and her travel writing, the essays in this volume explore Wharton's diverse, complex, and sometimes problematic relationship to a cosmopolitan vision.-- Publisher's description.
