The Edith Wharton Society has created a Website to promote the study and discussion of the life and work of this major American novelist and short story writer. Wharton (1862-1937) -- author of Ethan Frome (1911) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Age of Innocence (1920), among many other titles -- is highly regarded as a writer of keen insight and polished prose who deftly exposed the social hypocrisy of her era. The Society's Website, hosted by Professor Donna M. Campbell of Washington State University, provides information about the society, maintains a membership directory, offers a timely News and Announcements section, posts calls for papers, lists upcoming conferences, and publishes a current Wharton bibliography that includes titles from 1992 to the present. In addition, the site links to Wharton's writings on the Web and sponsors an electronic discussion list, wharton-l.
