Edith Wharton 
The Complete Works of Edith Wharton. Illustrated 
The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, Ethan Frome and others

Edith Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York ‘aristocracy’ to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, for her novel The Age of Innocence.
Among her other well known works are The House of Mirth and the novella Ethan Frome.
Wharton's writings often dealt with themes such as social and individual fulfillment, repressed sexuality, and the manners of old families and the new elite.
A key recurring theme in Wharton's writing is the relationship between the house as a physical space and its relationship to its inhabitant's characteristics and emotions.
