Description
Emily Orlando contends that while Wharton’s early work presents women enshrined by men through art, the middle and later fiction shifts the seat of power to women. Edith Wharton and the Visual Arts is the first extended study to examine the presence in Wharton’s fiction of the Pre-Raphaelite poetry and painting of Rossetti and his muses, notably Elizabeth Siddall and Jane Morris.
