Biografía del Autor
<p>Edith Wharton (1862?1937) was a distinguished American novelist, short story writer, and designer, who skillfully articulated the intricacies of society and human psychology in her work. Born into a wealthy New York family as Edith Newbold Jones, Wharton broke away from the expectations of her class to become one of the most respected authors of her time. The saying \'keeping up with the Joneses\' is thought to refer to her socially prominent family. Beyond domestic tales, Wharton ventured into historical fiction with \'The Valley of Decision\' (1902), a novel that showcased her narrative artistry and depth of historical understanding. She is widely recognized for her nuanced examinations of the American upper class, with particular emphasis on the rigid social structures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her novels often explore themes of social status, the role of women, and the consequences of desire. Wharton\'s literary style is marked by its elegance, incisive wit, and the poignancy of her character study. Among her most famous works are \'The Age of Innocence\' (1920), for which she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, \'Ethan Frome\' (1911), and \'The House of Mirth\' (1905). Her writing has left a lasting imprint on American literature, and her stories continue to be cherished by readers and studied by scholars for their portrayal of a bygone era with timeless themes.</p>
