Foyles
Edith Wharton's novels of manners seem to grow in stature as time passes. Here she draws a beautiful social climber, Undine Sprague, who is a monster of selfishness and honestly doesn't know it. Although the worlds she wants to conquer have vanished, Undine herself is amazingly recognizable. She marries well above herself twice and both times fails to recognize her husbands' strengths of character or the weakness of her own, and it is they, not she, who pay the price.

Whartonas glittering satire of the newly affluent in Old New York Considered by many to be her masterpiece, Edith Whartonas second full-length work is a scathing yet personal examination of the exploits and follies of the modern upper class.
