Die Stadt, die sie schrieben
New York City ist die literarische Sehnsuchtsstadt schlechthin. War einst Manhattan das kulturelle Zentrum der Welt, hat heute vor allem Brooklyn diese Rolle inne. Jedes Jahr erscheinen Dutzende Romane, die nicht nur in New York City spielen, sondern die Stadt als integralen Bestandteil erzählen und sie so zu einem eigenständigen Charakter machen."Die Stadt, die sie schrieben" versammelt einige der wichtigsten Autorinnen, die die Stadt als ihren Lebensmittelpunkt hatten, sich in ihrer Literatur ausführlich mit ihr beschäftigten und das Bild von New York City prägten. Darunter finden sich prominente Namen wie Dorothy Parker, Edith Wharton und Siri Hustvedt, aber auch viele Entdeckungen: Emma Lazarus, deren Worte im Sockel der Freiheitsstatue zu finden sind, Kathy Acker, die die Undergroundliteratur revolutionierte, Ann Petry, die erste Schwarze Autorin, die eine Million Bücher verkaufte, Nellie Bly, die bereits im 19. Jahrhundert als Undercover-Reporterin arbeitete, Leslie Feinberg mit deren queerem Klassiker Stone Butch Blues oder Daphne Palasi Andreades, die jüngst den Bezirk Queens auf die literarische Stadtkarte brachte - sie alle zeigen die Vielfalt der New Yorker Literatur.

The House of Mirth
The House of Mirth is Edith Wharton's biting critique of New York's upper classes around the end of the 19th century. The novel follows socialite Lily Bart as she struggles to maintain a precarious position among her wealthy friends in the face of her own diminished finances and fading youth. Lily has resolved to gain social and financial security by marrying into wealth, but callous rivals and her own second thoughts undermine Lily's plans.Wharton's insights into high society were largely built on her own experiences growing up among the upper crust, and her confident portrayal of a morally lax aristocracy found an eager audience. The novel sold over a hundred thousand copies within a few months of its release and became her first great success as a published author.

Pastoral Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Fiction
The World is a WelterOne of the goals of this book is to demonstrate that while the pastoral seems to portray troubling fractures between the social self and native soil, Wharton is more struck by how these ostensibly divergent cultural categories superimpose and interpenetrate to form an ecocritical palimpsest.

Fighting France
Edith Wharton, known primarily for her novels of American high society, was also a war writer. She was one of the first woman writers to be allowed to visit the war zones in France in 1915 and report back on what she saw. This resulting collection of six essays - five of which were originally published in American magazines - presents a fascinating and unique perspective on wartime France by one of America's great novelists. Written with Wharton's distinctive literary skills to advocate American intervention in the war, this little-known war text demonstrates that she was a complex and accomplished propagandist. However, these eyewitness accounts also demonstrate a troubling awareness of the human cost of war. Incorporating a wealth of previously unpublished archival material and images, this critical edition aims to bring this neglected text into the field of Wharton studies, allowing critics and enthusiasts to reevaluate her contribution as a war writer and to assess the significance of this period for her literary development.
