SynopsisEdith Wharton herself drew many connections between her two novellas--Ethan Frome and Summer--which address the consequences of forbidden sexual passion and the tragedy of thwarted dreams. While Wharton continues to be one of the most frequently taught American writers, this New Riverside Edition volume is the first to pair these texts along with supporting critical and contextual materials. Supplementary materials include related writing about the Berkshires, essays about cultural norms in New England, and critical essays., This New Riverside Edition, edited by Denise D. Knight (State University of New York -- Cortland) pairs two of Edith Wharton's most famous works, Ethan Frome and Summer. Wharton herself connected these novellas, both of which address the consequences of forbidden sexual passion and the tragedy of thwarted dreams. While Wharton continues to be one of the most frequently taught American writers, this is the first edition to place not only these two important texts in one volume but to include writings about the Berkshires and New England culture, as well as critical materials that illuminate both works, their connections, and Wharton's advanced ideas about their controversial subjects.
