Ghost Story Victorian
As the autumn months approach, many a reader’s sensibilities veer toward the macabre and mysterious. There’s something about crisp breezes and lengthening nights that just begs for a good ghost story. And those with an interest in the dark side of human nature will find just what they’re looking for in the many ghost stories of turn-of-the-century writer Edith Wharton, who takes a decidedly psychoanalytic view of the ghostly experience.
Edith Wharton the Author
Edith Wharton was born in New York in 1862. Her family was aristocratic, and Wharton was immersed from the beginning in the rituals of high society. During her unhappy marriage, she published a steady stream of novels, the most well known from this period being The House of Mirth (1905). Many of her works took a sceptical and satirical look at upper-class life.
Following her divorce, Wharton settled permanently in France and devoted herself in equal parts to charity and to writing. After the war she completed The Age of Innocence; this work won the Pulitzer in 1921. She would continue to write novels and short stories until her death in 1937, forming during this time strong friendships with other literary figures of the era, among them Henry James and Sinclair Lewis.
