Final Adjustments --Appendix: "Beatrice Palmato" --Notes --Bibliography --Acknowledgments --IndexStarting with the tensions in the early family constellation, Gloria C. Erlich traces Edith Wharton's erotic evolution--from her early repression of sexuality and her celibate marriage to her discovery of passion in a rapturous midlife love affair with the bisexual Morton Fullerton. Analyzing the novelist's life, letters, and fiction, Erlich reveals several interrelated identity systems--the filial, the sexual, and the creative--that evolved together over the course of Wharton's lifetime.Women authors, AmericanSexual behaviorFemininity in literatureWomen authors, AmericanPsychologyPsychoanalysis and literatureWomen in literatureSex in literatureWomen and literatureHistory20th centuryUnited StatesPsychological fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism20th centuryUnited StatesAuthors, AmericanPsychologyFemininity in literaturePsychoanalysis and literatureWomen in literatureSex in literatureUnited StatesWomen authors, AmericanSexual behavior.Femininity in literature.Women authors, AmericanPsychology.Psychoanalysis and literature.Women in literature.Sex in literature.Women and literatureHistoryPsychological fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismAuthors, AmericanPsychologyFemininity in literaturePsychoanalysis and literatureWomen in literatureSex in literature813/.52BErlich Gloria C1232263DLCDLCUKMSLRBOOK9910495882903321The sexual education of Edith Wharton2861112UNINA
