Abstract
Abstract In this personal essay, the author recounts five decades of reading, teaching, and being inspired by Edith Wharton’s life and work, highlighting meetings with many noted Wharton scholars in the United States and abroad, and recounting the genesis of three of his twenty-seven books that deal with Wharton. Those works are a study of shame in her life and fiction, Edith Wharton’s Prisoners of Shame; an acclaimed comic mystery, The Edith Wharton Murders; and a revisioning of her classic novel The House of Mirth from the point of view of Simon Rosedale and his family, Rosedale in Love.
