'The strength of Singley's vision lies in its final refusal to categorize Wharton's thought ... Matters of Mind and Spirit marks a new trend in Wharton criticism.' Modern Fiction Studies

Descrizione del libro

Carol Singley makes the case for Wharton as a novelist of morals rather than of manners; a novelist who sought answers to profound spiritual and metaphysical questions. By locating Wharton in the library rather than the drawng room, Matters of Mind and Spirit gives this writer her literary and intellectual due, and offers fresh ways of interpreting her life and fiction.
