Edith Wharton Bewertungen

A superb biography -- Colm Toibin Irish Times Adding impressive depth and nuance to the received portrait of Wharton, Lee's biography excels in its discussions of her writing -- Peter Kemp The Sunday Times Painstaking and elegant... One of this book's great pleasures is Lee's discussion of Wharton's work -- Kasia Boddy Daily Telegraph A feat of exhaustive research...finely tuned to Wharton's creative achievement. This is a glorious biography -- Mark Bostridge Independent on Sunday [A] majestically weighty autobiography as meticulous, exhaustive and exhausting in scope and scale as its subject -- Hilary Spurling Observer
