Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Homeless: Le Livre Des Sans-Foyer I appeal to the American people to picture to themselves the plight Of these poor creatures and to endeavor in practical fashion to secure that they shall be saved from further avoidable suffering. Nothing that our people can do will remedy the frightful wrong that has been com mitted on these families. Nothing that can now be done by the civilized world, even if the neutral nations Of the civilized world should at last wake up to the performance Of the duty they have so shamefully failed to perform, can undo the dreadful wrong Of which these unhappy Chil dren, these Old men and women, have been the victims. All that can be done surely should be done to ease their suffering. The part that Amer ica has played in this great tragedy is not an exalted part; and there is all the more reason why Americans should hold up the hands Of those Of their number who, like Mrs. Wharton, are endeavoring to some ex tent to remedy the national shortcomings. We owe to Mrs. Wharton all the assistance we can give. We owe this assistance to the good name Of America, and above all for the cause Of humanity we owe it to the chil dren, the women and the Old men who have suffered such dreadful wrong.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together leading voices from across the globe, The Bloomsbury Handbook to Edith Wharton represents state-of-the-art scholarship on the American writer Edith Wharton, once primarily known as a New York novelist. Focusing on Wharton's extensive body of work and renaissance across 21st-century popular culture, chapters consider: - Wharton in the context of queer studies, race studies, whiteness studies, age studies, disability studies, anthropological studies, and economics; - Wharton's achievements in genres for which she deserves to be better known: poetry, drama, the short story, and non-fiction prose; - Comparative studies with Christina Rossetti, Henry James, and Willa Cather; -The places and cultures Wharton documented in her writing, including France, Greece, Italy, and Morocco; - Wharton's work as a reader and writer and her intersections with film and the digital humanities. Book-ended by Dale Bauer and Elaine Showalter, and with a foreword by the Director and senior staff at The Mount, Wharton's historic Massachusetts home, the Handbook underscores Wharton's lasting impact for our new Gilded Age. It is an indispensable resource for readers interested in Wharton and 19th- and 20th-century literature and culture.
