    1 “A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight.” - - Proverbs 11:1 ​ May 20, 2020 Parents and Students, Because the administration has directed that no official project or writing assignment be attached to summer reading, I am not changing it much from what I had last year for Honors and AP students.. Honestly, if your student is reading anything and enjoying it, that’s great! The connection between reading and academic success -- both now and on standardized tests, writing, and post secondary learning -- is overwhelming! I recommend (and this is advice I have to take myself!) branching out from one’s favorite genre for variety and to discover additional types of writing to enjoy. Other than recommendations from people you know who have studied or read the works, an easy option for choosing a book is to look up an excerpt of the novel/drama. That way, you know the level of difficulty as well as the author’s style and language. Almost all good literature contains less-than-savory elements -- language, sinful behavior, sometimes even an overt or subtle skewed world view. With that disclaimer comes the fact that most, if not all good literature that I have read doesn’t glorify sin but punishes it in some way. Christian family review sites also exist, including the following: Redeemed Reader, Focus on the Family, Plugged In, and Common Sense Media. Below is a lengthy article by Bob Jones University that deals with potentially objectionable material from a biblical worldview in a thorough manner.

  • Architecture and Society in Edith Wharton's the Age of Innocence
    "The Intolerable Ugliness of New York": Architecture and Society in Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence Cynthia G. Falk Edith Wharton's novel The Age of Innocence was written in and about an era characterized in the United States by immense political, economic, and cul­ tural change, which led many Americans to reevaluate how they defined their country and themselves. As an expatriate, Wharton worked on the manuscript in France in the years just after World War I amidst ongoing debates about the Treaty of Versailles, wartime reparations, and the creation of the League of Nations. The work was received by the American public first in the summer of 1920, when it appeared in serial form in the magazine Pictorial Review, and again later that fall, when it was published as a novel. The story was set almost fifty years earlier in the New York and Newport, Rhode Island, of Wharton's youth. Through her descriptions of that earlier period's built environment and social conventions, Wharton drew conclusions about American society that car­ ried added weight in her own day. Wharton's assessment of architecture, inte­ rior design, and codes of conduct in late-nineteenth-century America distanced her from many of her American contemporaries by demonstrating her disillu­ sionment with her increasingly influential homeland. From the conclusion of the Civil War to the conclusion of World War I, Americans saw their country transformed. At the beginning of the period, the United States was still recovering from the destruction and division that resulted from sectional crisis.

This study of her .fiction is limited to one aspect of her literary virtuosity, her use of drama.tic irony to contribute to the form i n her fiction. Such a otudy presents a two-fold problem. In the first place, the writer must show how drama.tic irony can contribute to form; thus, he must involve himself in aest hetics, a study very difficult to document. In the second place, he must show that dramatic irony contributed to the form of Ed.1th Wharton's fiction. In order to deal \Ii.th this two-headed problem in a unified essay, I decided that the best approach would be to give a short explanation of my idea that dramatic iroizy can contribute to form and then to illustrate the explanation by giving specific examples from Mrs. Wharton's fiction.

  • Property and Identity in the Custom of the Country and Ultimately Meaning, on Personal Identity As Volatile Economic Conditions Erode Familiar Social Structures
    Sassoubre 687 PROPERTY AND IDENTITY IN f THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY Ticien Marie Sassoubre Critical responses to The Custom of the Country have been deeply influenced by events in Edith Wharton's life during the period over which the novel was written (1907–13). Connections between the novel and Wharton's financial success (resulting from her shrewd- ness in negotiation with publishers as well as her literary talent and productivity), her affair with Morton Fullerton, and the difficult deci- sion to divorce her husband of nearly thirty years are readily appar- ent. As a result, The Custom of the Country is consistently read as a novel about divorce, or a critique of the patriarchal oppression of women.1 In these readings, Undine Spragg, the novel's main figure, is conceived as a frustrated entrepreneur forced by her gender to pursue her business in the domestic sphere.2 The critical preoccupa- tion with the novel as a fictionalization of Wharton's personal experi- ences explains why those who have so frequently praised its fine prose and unflinching social observation have either exaggerated Undine's "success" or felt, with Percy Lubbock, that the novel lacks "a controlling and unifying center" (53). In this article, I argue that The Custom of the Country should be read as a novel about changing property relations and the ways in which those property relations are constitutive of personal identity. Reading the novel through this lens discloses its carefully constructed narrative structure and the- matic coherence—a coherence distorted by readings concerned pri- marily with its treatment of gender inequality or divorce.

Scott, 1994 Repository: Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center Wharton, Edith, 1862-1937 Biographical Sketch Edith Newbold Jones Wharton was born on January 24, 1862 into a distinguished New York family. Wharton was privately educated and began at an early age to write, a habit viewed by her family as unsuitable for a woman of her social class and as an eccentricity best ignored and left undiscussed. Her first published work consisted of a group of poems published anonymously in 1878 under the title Verses. In 1885 the twenty-three year old Edith Jones married Edward Wharton, a wealthy Bostonian who was thirteen years her senior. They divided their year between New York and Newport and later Lenox, Massachusetts, where Edith Wharton had designed a home called "The Mount." In 1897 she co-authored a book with Ogden Codman, Jr., titled The Decoration of Houses.
