6 Acknowledgements The author and publishers wish to thank the following for permission to quote from the work of Edith Wharton: The Collection of American Literature, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University; Watkins/Loomis Agency Inc., New York, for excerpts from A Backward Glance (New York: 1934; reprinted by Constable & Co., 1972). I would also like to thank everyone who has helped me with my work on Edith Wharton, both in England and the United States, and particularly the staff of the Yale Beinecke Library, My special thanks are due to John Stokes, who saw my work through its academic process; to my husband, Andrew Goodwyn, who has shared his home with Edith Wharton for a decade and can still express enthusiasm for her; to Marion Maidment, for her love and support; and, finally, to my son, Thomas Goodwyn, for being a sound sleeper. Janet Beer Goodwyn ix
7 Preface to the 1995 Reprint Edith Wharton's literary reputation has soared in the last two decades. The publication of R. W. B. Lewis's biography in 1975 marked a revitalisation of critical interest in Wharton's writing which has brought her back to her proper place in the forefront of any consideration of early twentieth-century American literature. As I write the BBC is filming a lavish British-American coproduction of Wharton's last, unfinished novel, The Buccaneers, films of The Age of Innocence and Ethan Frome are in the cinemas and the books are on the bestseller lists, just as they were in her lifetime. These indications of a general as well as a specialist academic interest in her work is testimony to the breadth and accessibility of her writing as well as to the enduring relevance of her themes and concerns. Edith Wharton: Traveller in the Land of Letters looks at Wharton's novels, autobiographies and travel writing in terms of her inspirational use of particular landscapes and different cultures. The book is concerned with all Wharton's novels, giving serious consideration to texts such as Twilight Sleep and The Glimpses of the Moon, still underrated in 1994, as well as to the much discussed The House of Mirth and The Custom of the Country. I began my research for this study of Wharton in 1980 and although I find that today I have more and different things to say about Wharton's work, and, in particular, about the short stories which are excluded from the discussion here, I feel most satisfied with the sections of the book which treat the texts unfamiliar to the general reader and with my work on her various autobiographical writings. It is here that I hoped, and still hope, to extend the range, and indeed the canon, of the Wharton texts which are given attention by both an academic and a general audience. I first conceived of this book as one which would examine Wharton's writing through the medium of her autobiographies, looking at how her own accounts of her life related to and informed her fictions. As I plunged deeper into her non-fiction what I found was that Wharton's art was interdependent, the travel as well as the autobiographical writing sustaining an intimate X
8 Preface to the 1995 Reprint xi relationship with her creative work and providing the sort of multi-cultural context which could support and indeed illuminate a reading of her novels which was topographically based. My enabling principle was, and continues to be, Wharton's own description of a self-willed and self-fulfilling residence in the 'Land of Letters', the place where her work and her life could finally conjoin. Her metaphoric construction of a literary terrain gave me a number of points of access to the range and depth of her writing. I am aware that it is but one among many modes of access to the infinite variety that is Edith Wharton's work. Many outstanding books on Wharton have been published in the last decade and I have taken the opportunity of this reprint to update the Further Reading section of this book to reflect the exhilarating critical revolution in the field of Wharton studies that has taken place.
