The Greater Inclination

Anotace

The earliest collection of short stories from Edith Wharton, \'The Greater Inclination\' documents the beginning of an outstanding literary career. The book contains seven short stories and one two-act play. In typical Wharton style, the tales deal with the themes of love, marriage, death, deception, American society, and the true intent of art. Wharton\'s eye for the minutiae of social conventions and interactions breathes life into each story. A superb book for those who want to see where it all started.
