Auchincloss, Louis Edith Wharton : A Woman in Her Time
New York, NY, U.S.A. A Studio Book, The Viking Press 1971 Hard Cover Good Good B/W Photographs, one color plate tipped in
Beige cloth on boards. Volume has minor edgewear. Jacket is creased and chipped, torn up from the bottom on the spine an inch, and the front foldover from top down about two inches. Now in clear cover. "Edith Wharton was not only a great lady of American letters but also a highly talented woman who chose a career in literature in a period when serious writing was considered 'too inky for ladies' and when only a passing acquaintance with the arts was deemed necessary. As she was later to comment, she was always thought too fashionable to be intelligent and too intelligent to be fashionable. Edith Wharton's world, both in American and in the expatriate havens of Europe, is here made extremely vivid - first through Louis Auchincloss's excellent account, again through Mrs. Wharton's perceptive prose, and lastly through photographs, many of which have not been published previously."

Auchincloss, Louis The Dark Lady
Boston, Massachusetts, USA Houghton Mifflin Company 1977 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Good
Maroon cloth on boards. Volume has only a trace of edgewear. Jacket has moderate edgewear, torn, creased, scuffed and scratched on front panel. Chips and creases to the rear panel. Now in clear cover. "The Dark Lady, spanning three decades, from the 1930's to the McCarthy era, and chronicles the life of Elesina Dart. Elesina is lovely, well-born, bright, even moderately talented as an actress, Elesina seems perversely bent on canceling out these advantages. She is close to low ebb when Ivy Trask, editor of the fashion arbitrating Tone magazine takes her on, in Elesina she finds material worthy of her best efforts. Ivy stage manages a marriage to Judge Irving Stein, old enough to know better, as all who are close to him point out. Irving is a man of deep sensibility, a romantic - as is David, his attractive youngest son. David's passion for his young stepmother leads to tragic consequences. Inevitably, husband, lover, and friend fall victim to Elesina's need for center stage, which she has come to see as her manifest destiny."
