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.

Download or read book Edith Wharton and Genre written by Laura Rattray and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive new archival research, Edith Wharton and Genre: Beyond Fiction offers the first study of Wharton’s full engagement with original writing in genres outside those with which she has been most closely identified. So much more than an acclaimed novelist and short story writer, Wharton is reconsidered in this book as a controversial playwright, a gifted poet, a trailblazing travel writer, an innovative and subversive critic, a hugely influential design writer, and an author who overturned the conventions of autobiographical form. Her versatility across genres did not represent brief sidesteps, temporary diversions from what has long been read as her primary role as novelist. Each was pursued fully and whole-heartedly, speaking to Wharton’s very sense of herself as an artist and her connected vision of artistry and art. The stories of these other Edith Whartons, born through her extraordinary dexterity across a wide range of genres, and their impact on our understanding of her career, are the focus of this new study, revealing a bolder, more diverse, subversive and radical writer than has long been supposed.
