Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: bestanden, University of Leipzig (Institut für Amerikanistik), course: The 19th century in American female fiction, language: English, abstract: enforcements and become an independent human being. In which way she tries to "free" herself from the entrapment called marriage, which developments her way to her personal liberty goes through and if she eventually succeeds will be discussed in this term paper. In the first part of this term paper, I want to report briefly about the second half of the nineteenth century in America and the role of women, especially female writers. Afterward there will be a short look at the author's vita, because the way Wharton lived tells us much about her understanding of different themes. Then I want to analyze Wharton's short story 'Souls Belated' which contains a lot of themes and symbols, from which the most interesting will be described and interpreted. In a final conclusion I will try find an answer to the essential topic of Wharton's story: Does the protagonist succeed in escaping the social conventions due to her divorce or does she fail? And is it possible at all to "free" oneself of the social imprisonment of the time described, particularly as a woman? This term paper focuses on the thesis, that 'Souls Belated' is mirroring the social conditions of Edith Wharton's 19th century New York Society and the institution of marriage as a kind of cage for women.

Download or read book Roman Fever and Other Stories written by Edith Wharton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A side from her Pulitzer Prize-winning talent as a novel writer, Edith Wharton also distinguished herself as a short story writer, publishing more than seventy-two stories in ten volumes during her lifetime. The best of her short fiction is collected here in Roman Fever and Other Stories. From her picture of erotic love and illegitimacy in the title story to her exploration of the aftermath of divorce detailed in "Souls Belated" and "The Last Asset," Wharton shows her usual skill "in dissecting the elements of emotional subtleties, moral ambiguities, and the implications of social restrictions," as Cynthia Griffin Wolff writes in her introduction. Roman Fever and Other Stories is a surprisingly contemporary volume of stories by one of our most enduring writers.

Book excerpt: Afterward by Edith Wharton is an ironic ghost story about greed and retribution. The ghost comes for one of the main characters long after a business transgression where the character wronged another. Excerpt: "Oh, there is one, of course, but you'll never know it." The assertion laughingly flung out six months earlier in a bright June garden, came back to Mary Boyne with a sharp perception of its latent significance as she stood, in the December dusk, waiting for the lamps to be brought into the library. The words had been spoken by their friend Alida Stair, as they sat at tea on her lawn at Pangbourne, in reference to the very house of which the library in question was the central, the pivotal "feature."

Book excerpt: Opening on the French Riviera among a motley community of American expatriates, The Mother's Recompense tells the story of Kate Clephane and her reluctant return to New York society after being exiled years before for abandoning her husband and infant daughter. Oddly enough, Kate has been summoned back by that same daughter, Anne, now fully grown and intent on marrying Chris Fenno, a war hero, dilettante, and social opportunist. Chris's questionable intentions toward her daughter are, however, the least of Kate's worries since she was once, and still is, deeply in love with him. Kate's moral quandary and the ensuing drama evoke comparison with Oedipus and Hamlet and lead to an ending that startled the mores of the day.
