1Author:  Wharton review: AnonymousRequires cookie*
 Title:  Note on Edith Wharton, in "Chronicle and Comment"  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: If we were to single out one book from those that have been published this season as exhibiting in the highest degree that rare creative power called literary genius, we should name The Greater Inclination, by Edith Wharton. The book has met with a fair reception in the press, but it does not seem to us that enough emphasis has been laid upon the originality of the work. And not only has Mrs. Wharton brought to these stories a remarkable power of insight and imagination, but the phase of life in America which she has chosen for treatment may be said to be altogether new in her hands. Her work is the more remarkable when we know that the processes by which her results are reached have been gained largely through intuition and sympathy. One would almost imagine in reading these stories that the author must have suffered and gone deep into life in order to bring up from its depths such knowledge of the world as is disclosed in her pages. And yet this is far from being the case. Mrs. Wharton was born little more than thirty years ago in New York. On both sides she comes of old New York stock, her mother being a Rhinelander. Most of her time has been spent between New Greyscale image of Edith Wharton with two dogs, one perched on her right shoulder, the other in her left arm. York and Newport, and she has also lived abroad, especially in Italy, of which country she is very fond. Her husband, Mr. Edward Wharton, is a member of the Philadelphia family of that name, and was married to Miss Edith Jones fully ten years ago. Both are passionately fond of animals, and have been for years the moving spirits in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Rhode Island. The photograph which we present of Mrs. Wharton with her two pet dogs is the only one that was available for reproduction here, but it is very characteristic when we bear in mind her love of animals. Her first stories began to appear in Scribner's and the Century some years ago; one of them especially, called "Mrs. Manstey's View," published in Scribner's, attracted a great deal of attention at the time of its appearance. She is also the author of a book on domestic architecture and home decoration, published by the Messrs. Scribner, which was reviewed in these pages a year ago last April. A review of The Greater Inclination appears on another page.

 Title:  Squirrel.  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE Squirrel lived with his life-long mate near the farm-house. He considered himself very rich, because he owned an English walnut tree. Neither he nor his mate had the least doubt that it belonged to them and not to the Farmer. There were not many like it in the State or the whole country. It was a beautiful tree, with a mighty spread of branches full of gnarled strength. Nearly every year there was a goodly promise of nuts, which never came to anything, so far as the people in the farm-house were concerned. Every summer they looked hopefully at the laden branches, and said to each other, "This year we shall have nuts," but there were never any. They could not understand it. But they were old people; had there been boys in the family it might have been different. Probably they would have solved the mystery. It was simple enough. The Squirrel and his mate considered the nuts as theirs, and appropriated them. They loved nuts; they were their natural sustenance; and through having an unquestioning, though unwitting, belief in Providence, they considered that nuts which grew within their reach were placed there for them as a matter of course. There were the Squirrels, and there were the nuts. No nuts, no Squirrels! The conclusion was obvious to such simple intelligences.

 Title:  Literary Workers of the South  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: UNTIL a comparatively recent date, there were almost no men and women in the South who made a profession of literature. Before the war, there was here and there a man who amused himself by writing a book. William Gilmore Simms, indeed, was a professed literary man; so was Poe, but he left the South early in his career. The books of John Pendleton Kennedy, secretary of the navy under Fillmore, Eliza J. Nicholson.From a photograph by Simon, New Orleans. A portrait of Eliza J. Nicholson, from a photograph by Simon of New Orleans are still sold; and few Southern sketches surpass those of Judge Longstreet. There was no end to the verse makers. Still, as a generality, it is true to say that literature as a serious business of life was not known. Every man and woman of education was taught to express himself or herself on paper with force and elegance; but it was considered as an accomplishment in the woman, and as a necessary adjunct to his position in life in the man. The heavy bundles of old letters which belong to every old Southern family will show that there was enough talent in those days to have made an American literature, had it been directed into the proper channels.
