The Custom of the Country

ISBN: 9780199555123 出版年：2000 页码： Wharton, Edith Orgel, Stephen Oxford University Press

Edith Wharton's satiric anatomy of American society in the first decade of the twentieth century both appalled and fascinated its first reviewers. It follows the career of Undine Spragg, as she pursues her schemes and social ambitions in a world of shifting values, where triumph is swiftly followed by disillusion.
