This book translates recent scholarship into pedagogy for teaching Edith Wharton's widely celebrated and less-known fiction to students in the twenty-first century. It comprises such themes as American and European cultures, material culture, identity, sexuality, class, gender, law, history, journalism, anarchism, war, addiction, disability, ecology, technology, and social media in historical, cultural, transcultural, international, and regional contexts. It includes Wharton's works compared to those of other authors, taught online, read in foreign universities, and studied in film adaptations.
