A born storyteIler whose career stretched over forty years, Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was the first woman to receive an honorary degree from YaIe and to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Best known for writing such iconic novels as The Age of lnnocence, The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome and The Custom of the Country, she was also a taIented designer, a tireIess traveIIer and a passionate philanthropist. From the beaches of Newport to the front lines of WWI France and beyond, Edith Wharton: The Sense of Harmony takes a sweeping look at the Iife and Iegacy of the literary master. Featuring interviews with distinguished biographers Louis AuchincIoss, R.W.B. Lewis and EIeanor Dwight, as well as writer Colin Clark and historian Sir Steven Runciman, this documentary portrait aIso includes the only known fiIm footage of Wharton in existence. |
