{"product_id":"edith-wharton-hermione-lee-9780375702877","title":"Edith Wharton: Ambassador Book Awards","description":"From Hermione Lee, the internationally acclaimed, award-winning biographer of \u003ci\u003eVirginia Woolf\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWilla Cather\u003c\/i\u003e, comes a superb reexamination of one of the most famous American women of letters.Delving into heretofore untapped sources, Lee does away with the image of the snobbish bluestocking and gives us a new Edith Wharton-tough, startlingly modern, as brilliant and complex as her fiction. Born into a wealthy family, Wharton left America as an adult and eventually chose to create a life in France. Her renowned novels and stories have become classics of American literature, but as Lee shows, Wharton's own life, filled with success and scandal, was as intriguing as those of her heroines. Bridging two centuries and two very different sensibilities, Wharton here comes to life in the skillful hands of one of the great literary biographers of our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermione Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375702873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375702877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Ambassador Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/04\/2008 pg. 24","brand":"Hermione Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043280679167,"sku":"9780375702877","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38fc08ba-2468-4b6d-bf72-2d102b50bf83.jpg?v=1684966255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edith-wharton-hermione-lee-9780375702877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
