- Edith Wharton (born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 - August 11, 1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Among her other well known works are The House of Mirth and the novella Ethan Frome.

Hello how are you doing ❤
The Age Of Innocent is one of my all time favorite movies. The cinematography, costumes, set designs and actors are superb.
Yeah me too I so love that movie so can sit and watch it over and over again 😊 Barbara my friend 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
Thank you Martin Scorsese
I did not like Michelle Pfeiffer's performance. Daniel Day Lewis, Winona Ryder and the beautiful set designs made up for her bad thespian skills.
@@ampa4989yes I agree,she was rather stilted. Partially her acting and partly the writing I think.
@@ampa4989still the Age of Innocence was a lovely movie.
I was inspired by this documentary on Edith Wharton to listen to the audiobook version of "The Age of Innocence." It is about the fourth time I have listened to this wonderful novel. It is like a dear, old friend that I love to visit on a quiet afternoon. I know the story well, but it is her writing that keeps me coming back. Mrs. Wharton was the master of delivering searing commentary on 19th century, upper class hypocrisy in artfully worded, genteel fiction. Her insights shocked and delighted readers of her era, and we continue to love the boldness and beauty of her writing today.
Thank you very much for this documentary. Much appreciated!
I am glad I happened to come across this documentary as Edith Wharton is one of my favorite authors and I had the pleasure of visiting The Mount back in the 80s. I happened to be in Lenox and visited her home before having ever read any of her work but I knew of her. I have been an admirer ever since and read whatever I could get my hands on and more than once, at that!
I fell asleep listening to this document, knowing I loved Edith because of her very first quote. She writes like I do, thinks like I do! I'm guessing it's the other way around; certainly similar. I do not possess the same level of intelligence, just an over inflated belief, that what I write is warranted to be recorded and read. I will look for her books and encourage my daughters seemingly new appreciation for old books.
Loved listening to her words and thankful for names of her writings and the interpretation by others.
By the time I became conscious that the document was still on & I listened to the end, my love for who Edith was and how she chose to express herself. Amazing time to be alive as a women with an intelligent and active mind, without the domininioning suppression of societal norms and men who were used to controlling it. Absolutely an amazing women of travel, observation, understanding, empathy, and intellect♡
Hello how are you doing ❤
Joe, I think I received message from you sometime ago. I'm not sure why. ..I'm new to the internet... but Im seeing the message while looking at comments about an Edith Wharton documentary. In any case in answer to your question...I'm fine , doing well and trying to explore opportunities to learn new things.❤
@curtisking9823 Beware..."Joe" has posted the same greeting to others in these comments. I suspect he's on the hunt for unsuspecting victims for some type of internet scam. I see these types attempt this frequently when I read the comments to many types of postings.
Very well done. I really enjoyed this. She is one of my favorite authors. Thank you!
I got interested in Edith Wharton after getting the Peter, Paul and Mary album from 1990 "Flowers and Stones" The album photos of them were taken in the garden at The Mount. Peter, Paul and Mary did a concert at nearby Tanglewood on the 4th of July that year. I started watching movies from her novels and also reading them. I especially enjoyed, "A Backward Glance" which is a beautiful autobiography.
Thank you for this! Pictures of Edith Wharton I hadn’t seen before gave clues to her personality. She had a definite stubborn streak, determined, and intelligent. Thank goodness she persevered! I also did not realize she wished so much to be physically beautiful. I’m sorry she felt that way but she left a legacy filled with so much more.
I think that's why all her heroes were so disappointing. She fully believed that had she been beautiful, Fullerton would have requited her love. She knew romantic disappointment and of dithering lovers who could never quite risk it all and come to the rescue.
Think of all the other Edith's out there who were not as privileged to get an education and money, connections for publication. I found an old diary at an estate sale from about the same time she lived. This teenage girl was wise beyond her years and wrote like a 40 year old. She was not wealthy in money but was in love. If she had written more, I would have tried to publish it.
Agreed! I have been trying to publish my work over these past years. I was ecstatic to have had my very first short story published (in an online competition)...but since this stroke of luck, I remain hopeful...
think of all the great story tellers who have not had these stories put down to paper. Part of the human experience is being a vibrant life - being unknown and unmarked is not the loss to humanity or the person's life, the loss is not writing or telling at all. On this amazing journey and spectrum of human experience -- look at all the trite that is published today with terrible writing and terrible editing - publishing houses are not actually finding winners either. Just listen closely and keep telling!!
do not forget that in her time, it was not condoned or accepted for what Edith was doing. economic prosperity is not always a position of privilege for women.

What is your point?
I’m only a couple of minutes in and the voice of Edith is perfect!
Your actual films of the old times, are wonderful. Thank you. Much of her writing is shared here in snippets. It is quite storied.
I wish you had done this with James' video. Nicely done. Thank you.
Yeah love watching her films the old days are so beautiful 🥰 Patricia my friend 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
@@stevenalvin167 Happy camp? Does living in a positive-monacher-named place actually help one be happy? Or have a more positive outlook?
Anyway. TN.
@@patriciajrs46 Nice meeting you ,never mind to be best of friend with you ,you speak so honest and sincere ,I guess you're a God fearing woman right ?
@@patriciajrs46 Happy camp California
@@stevenalvin167 Yes, I am. Bless you and yours. I hope your heart is well with you.
My daughter and I toured the Mount in October 2022 and it was just lovely, as was the remarkable history of this talented woman’s life. Highly recommend!
Excellent choice!
Magnificent approach to Wharton's life from an accurate literary perspective
Wonderful.. thank you.
Yeah so wonderful Janine my friend 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
Incredibly interesting and entertaining video.
I'm so taken with the "homes" she lived in.
She certainly had style and sophication!
A very dedicated and prolific writer.
I love The Buccanneers.
Thank you so very much for most informative and exciting video.
I thoroughly enjoyed the comments from her godson and other writers too.😂❤
Excellent! ...and to finish on 'She receives the Full Honours of a War Hero!' ...fabulous. xx
Yeah so fabulous and beautiful 🥰 my friend Larissa and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
Bless 🙌 you for this document ❤️ 😍 💖
Great documentary.
What a wonderful movie.
superb documentary...Thank You...
Have loved Edith Wharton ever since the first book I read of hers, Summer
At first it was watching this late at night and it put me to sleep. But then this morning I was watching it again on a nice Sunday morning, and I realized something. Many people do not notice their lives as they go through them. Edith Wharton noticed and took notes along the way. Acuity of perception, with a photographic memory. Truly great gifts for a writer. And she actually got to do things and help people during the war.
Very interested in these documentaries u be posting atm. Subbed yesterday, taking in the information about Daphne Du Maurier.
Very good...interesting...thanks.
I love Edith Wharton
52:00 lists all the books she wrote, and says which ones were made into films
works of fiction (that came after her early travel writing)
Fabulous documentary
So fabulous my friend 😊 Cindy 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
What a great documentary
Yeah so great Theresa my friend 😊 and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
Such a delightful bio. I think from her early photos she was really beautiful. Can’t wait to read her books if I can find them. I don’t understand why she was not taught in schools
If you choose to study literature then she is a part of it.
Rich families never sent their children to schools where they would mix with the hoi polloi. They were always privately tutored. It is also why Prince Charles was the first ever in British royal history to attend boarding school and graduate from university.
Why are so many of these comments, that say 1 reply, have no reply at all?
Patricia I've been having problems with my cell phone recently and so thank you for bringing this up because I thought it was only happening to my phone .
Sometimes people will erase their comment and I think it's still registered as if being there ; but I would find it hard to believe that many people are doing this on the same video .
@@gardensofthegods That's why I mentioned it. I think you tube is erasing people's comments
The reason? To slow down their rise in channel power, and/ or their monetization power. You tube doesn't want them to get paid much.
@@patriciajrs46 More a case of too many trolls.
Wharton's novels are wonderful.But some of my enthusiasm was muted when i read that she was a virulent anti semite and a snob of the first order.
She was born VERY priviledged. People like her tend not to question her position, or how the money was made that she spent
I too was really disappointed and put off when I learned she was such a virulent Jew hater. How often does that happen, and then it makes it hard to really ever enjoy the work with trust and abandonment again. You’re always looking then for the shades of ignorance and sick mindedness that accompany.
Marvelous!
Hello how are you doing ❤
Music is distracting.
Excelente audio.
This was called around the Renaissance
Hello how are you doing?
An amazing life.
Hello how are you doing ❤
I remember reading Ethan Frome back in high school
Who is narrating this?
Marlene Sanders, bad ass (and Jeffrey Toobin’s mom).
Certainly a wonderful writer with crisp style that refreshes. But as with many great writers she too gave little or no focus to God. In this area she was a splendid failure but her writing is still admired by many today and deservedly so.
Edith Wharton's stories are so bleak and discouraging despite her command of language that they are heartbreaking to read. Hence after starting to read one of her books that same said desert bleakness of her story turned me completely off. After seeing documentaries about her here, showcasing her physical plainness, a loveless marriage, an affair that engaged her, a youth who dreamed up stories like the
Brontes' tragic tales., I have no wish to fill my mind with her melancholy, depressed books. Therefore within Edith must have dwelt that sad low emotional state from her introvert and fearful personality/
Dear me, I think you have misread Edith Wharton totally. She.holds up a mirror to society's values, not only the society she lived in but that of today. Of course if you find her work depressing better to stay away from it. Also.I don't see her as plain looking. It is a matter of.'chacun son mauvais gout'.I suppose.
Fine archival footage and imagery. But the "format" results in a very confusing and muddled "Story" of a vivid life. Dates jump around, as does the time-frame. Most unfortunate.
Cool
Interesting. Apparently Martin aims read all her works on his death bed, it must have meant something!
👍
So beautiful 🥰 my Elizabeth 😊 and
I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm Steven by name from Happy camp and you where are you from?
We write that not with him with them all of them

Hard to believe these incredibly boring people were around at the same time as Frank Lloyd Wright.
It’s hilarious that you can think they are boring. I think they may be spoiled rich kids but too intellectual to be boring. I would love to sit in on the conversation and I actually know for sure.
@@beastshawnee Some intellectuals can be incredibly boring.
Hello how are you doing ❤
Hard to believe you find FLW interesting or even memorable. He's nothing to me.
You and millions of others who aren't into the best we can do.@@ampa4989
What Utter Rubbish.
Who is that horsy woman?
You ignorant fool.
Did edith smoke???
I find the writers of this ere as boring as anything that could possibly be imagined. Especially Henry James.
You remind me of this woman who borrowed my copy of Out of Africa and could not finish it because it was so boring to her. Gone Girl was more her speed.
Dipende dai gusti. Per me James è un gigante della letteratura.
Just curious, but do you like William Faulkner??
There's something so captivating about the eras of the Egyptian Civilization, in it earlier years, when the Pharohs were in charge, and then the era beginning just before the Civil War, forward, through the waves of decades, the Turn of the Century to about 1913, then the 1920's through 1945, again in 1950's through 1965.
Each chapters particularly delicious with something that feels so familiar.
In each there's a particular heightened period, and then the energies change.
The 1990's, so vivid and so "harmony right", until 2001, when Bush took office and the tone changed like a storm moved in.
Now, I feel a particularly positive energy, a Frequency that's truly Benefic, a feeling of receiving, of Joy in Abundance.
🪄☀️✨
Well if Harris wins, kiss your joy behind, or your joyful behind, whatever.
Not a good docu.
