Soporte
The Old Maid, Originally serialized in The Red Book Magazine in 1922, The Old Maid is an examination of class and society as only Edith Wharton could undertake. The story follows the life of Tina, a young woman caught between the mother who adopted her-the beautiful, upstanding Delia-and her true mother, her plain, unmarried ‘aunt’ Charlotte, who gave Tina up to provide her with a socially acceptable life.The three women live quietly together until Tina’s wedding day, when Delia’s and Charlotte’s hidden jealousies rush to the surface. Says Roxana Robinson in her Introduction, ‘Wharton weaves her golden, fine-meshed net about her characters with inexorable precision.’

Sobre el autor

‘Nineteenth-century America was gone; twentieth-century America was alien. ‘All that I thought American in a true sense is gone, and I see nothing but vain-glory, crassness and a total ignorance . . . , ‘ she wrote. She began to reconsider the old, lost world. What had seemed once petty and insular now seemed valuable and dignified; the rules, she saw, had been founded on moral principle. ‘I am steeping myself in the nineteenth century, ‘ she wrote, ‘. . . such a blessed refuge from the turmoil and mediocrity of today-like taking sanctuary in a mighty temple.’- Edith Wharton, The Old Maid
