Title : The Roads Traveled - Edith Wharton - book

Summary :

Her sharp and - even more so than that of her dear Henry James - critical eye on her country and her compatriots earned Edith Wharton the admiration of the severe Edmund Wilson.

In this self-portrait, in which the author of The Wedding Planner and The New Yorkers casts, at the end of his life, "a look back on the paths traveled", we find the woman James had christened "the angel of devastation", her ferocious art dressed in chic, this impression of strength and mixed reflections which has struck all readers of her work.

Here is a great "portrait of a woman," that of one of the great ladies of American literature, in whom irony and humor have always been able to combine with panache and elegance.9782253155225
