 Title:  About Mrs. Wharton, in "Chronicle and Comment"  
 Published:  1996 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: According to certain chroniclers in the daily press, Mrs. Wharton is going to write no more long novels, but will devote herself to serious historical composition. We are glad that she has abjured long novels, but deplore her intention of becoming an historian. There are scores of historians busily at work, many of them very good ones, but where shall we find another writer who could give us such remarkable work as that contained in The Greater Inclination? It is pure perversity to give up doing the thing that one can do best in order to waste time over that which many others can do better. We have a certain right to speak out frankly on this subject, because we were among the very first to greet Mrs. Wharton as a writer of very rare gifts and of unusual distinction.
