Edith Wharton (1862-1937), born Edith Newbold Jones, was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with an excellent, natural wit to create humourous and incisive novels and short stories. Wharton was well-acquainted with a lot of her era's literary and public figures, including Henry James and Theodore Roosevelt. Besides her writing, she was an extremely regarded landscape architect, interior designer, and taste-maker of her time. She wrote several influential books, including The Decoration of Houses (1897), her first published work, and Italian Villas and Their Gardens (1904). Age Innocence (1920), perhaps her most widely known work, won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature, making her the first woman to win the award. Her other works include: THE HIGHER Inclination (1899), The Touchstone (1900), Sanctuary (1903), The Descent of Man and also other Stories (1904), The House of Mirth (1905), Madame de Treymes (1907), The Fruit of the Tree (1907), The Hermit and the Wild Woman and also other Stories (1908), Ethan Frome (1912), In Morocco (1921), plus the Glimpses of the Moon (1921).
