Synopsis "Women on the Verge: American Women's Literature of the Progressive Era: Short Fiction & Poetry (in English)"

Women on the Verge: American Women's Literature of the Progressive Era presents a scholarly selection of some of the finest examples of Women's Literature from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, now known as The Progressive Era. Following the Victorian era, and on the heels of the twilight of the dominance of New England writers in American literature, Progressive era American women authors were starting to find their literary voices, unique from the rest of the world. Edited by Laura Bonds and Shawn Conners, and with cover art by Joan Turrell based on her series "Beyond the Yellow Wallpaper," this collection captures the essence of those voices, and includes the first American women authors to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.Contents include short fiction and poetry by: Sarah Orne JewettKate ChopinMary E. Wilkins FreemanCharlotte Perkins GilmanEdith WhartonWilla CatherSara TeasdaleMargaret WiddemerEdna St. Vincent Millay

Edith Wharton nació en Nueva York en 1862. Su nombre de soltera era Edith Newbold Jones. Su familia era de clase alta, comparable a la aristocracia europea, y consecuentemente recibió una esmerada educación privada. En 1907 se estableció en Francia, donde se convirtió en discípula y amiga de Henry James. Su obra más conocida es La edad de la inocencia, publicada en 1920 y ganadora del premio Pulitzer en 1921. Está considerada la más genial novelista americana de su generación, admirada por intelectuales de la talla de Henry James, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Jean Cocteau y Ernest Hemingway.
