Lee, Hermione Edith Wharton
Vintage April 8, 2008 0-375-70287-3 / 9780375702877 Paperback Very Good
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: The definitive biography of one of America's greatest writers, from the aut hor of the acclaimed masterpiece Virginia Woolf. Delving into heretofore untapped sources, Hermione Lee does away with the i mage of the snobbish bluestocking and gives us a new Edith Wharton--tough, startlingly modern, as brilliant and complex as her fiction. Born in 1862, Wharton escaped the suffocating fate of the well-born female, traveled adventurously in Europe and eventually settled in France. After t entative beginnings, she developed a forceful literary professionalism and thrived in a luminous society that included Bernard Berenson, Aldous Huxley and most famously Henry James, who here emerges more as peer than as maste r. Wharton's life was fed by nonliterary enthusiasms as well: her fabled ho uses and gardens, her heroic relief efforts during the Great War, the cultu re of the Old World, which she never tired of absorbing. Yet intimacy elude d her: unhappily married and childless, her one brush with passion came and went in midlife, an affair vividly, intimately recounted here. With profound empathy and insight, Lee brilliantly interweaves Wharton's life with the evolution of her writing, the full scope of which shows her far to be more daring than her stereotype as lapidarian chronicler of the Gilded Age. In its revelation of both the woman and the writer, Edith Wharton is a landmark biography.

Lee, Hermione Virginia Woolf
Knopf 1997 0-09-973251-3 / 9780099732518 Paperback Very Good
Hermione Lee sees Virginia Woolf afresh, in her historical setting and as a vital figure for our times. Her book moves freely between a richly detaile d life-story and new attempts to understand crucial questions - the impact of her childhood, the cause and nature of her madness and suicide, the trut h about her marriage, her feelings for women, her prejudies and obsessions. This is a vivid, close-up portrait, returning to primary sources, and show ing Woolf as occupying a distinct, even uneasy position with 'Bloomsbury'. It is a writer's life, illustrating how the concerns of her work arise and develop, and a political life, which establishes Woolf as a radically scept ical, subversive, courageous feminist. Incorporating newly discovered sourc es and illustrated with photos and drawings never used before, this biograp hy is a revelation - informed, intelligent and moving.
