Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: "The Custom of the Country" (1913) by Edith Wharton explores the life of Undine Spragg, a Midwest native, as she moves to New York City in pursuit of wealth and social prominence. Undine's beauty and charm are matched by her selfishness and materialistic desires. She marries Ralph Marvell but grows discontented with his perceived lack of ambition. Undine engages in affairs and later marries wealthy Elmer Moffatt, but her insatiable thirst for social status leads to an unhappy fate. Wharton's novel serves as a biting satire of the American upper class, critiquing societal values and priorities in the early 20th century. About The Author: Edith Wharton (1862 1937), an American writer and designer, utilized her intimate knowledge of the upper-class New York "aristocracy" to authentically depict the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.

Recognized for her literary contributions, Wharton was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996.
