A Backward Glance: An Autobiography
- Used Book in Good Condition
Edith Wharton, the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, vividly reflects on her public and private life in this stunning memoir.

With richness and delicacy, it describes the sophisticated New York society in which Wharton spent her youth, and chronicles her travels throughout Europe and her literary success as an adult. Beautifully depicted are her friendships with many of the most celebrated artists and writers of her day, including her close friend Henry James.

In his introduction to this edition, Louis Auchincloss calls the writing in A Backward Glance â€œas firm and crisp and lucid as in the best of her novels.â€ It is a memoir that will charm and fascinate all readers of Whartonâ€™s fiction.
