Edith Wharton (1862-1937)
Born into a wealthy family, Edith Wharton combined her intimate knowledge of privileged life and society with wit, sarcasm and psychoanalysis to create insightful stories of the upper class, and it's Depression-era decline. Also known for her poetry and ghost stories, Wharton is perhaps best known today for The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome, and The Age of Innocence. She was also a designer with a love of travel, gardens and fine homes. She designed an estate in Massachusetts, called The Mount, which is testament to her tasteful, classic design technique.
