Edith Wharton, 1862-1937

On January 24, 1862, Edith Wharton was born. I have actually only read one of her novels, The House of Mirth (but I have the others on my vacation reading list, which I have to admit is usually quite long and will probably form the basis of my retirement list-my only defense is that I was an English major in college). While the Moorhead Campus does not have many of her works, you will be able to find some of the short stories she submitted to magazines within the NetLibrary database. Plus, there is always the option of looking at a website like Project Gutenberg for some of her books, which may be available in an electronic print or MP3 version.
