"Ethan Frome (1911), a sharply etched novelette concerning simple New England people, is considered her greatest tragic story, and shows a marked departure from the ironic contemplation of aristocratic mores and highly complex characters" (The Oxford Companion to American Literature)."No living American woman novelist compares in aesthetic importance to Edith Wharton" (Bloom, The Western Canon, (New York: 1994); p. 436). Garrison A19.1.a.
