At once a leader and a recorder of the glamorous Gilded Age society, Edith Wharton stands at the pinnacle of turn of the twentieth century American literature and social history. The Mount, her summer "cottage" in the Berkshires, was essential to her success, and the story of her life there is filled with gatherings of literary figures and artists.

Reviews
"Richard Guy Wilson's Edith Wharton at Home ...illuminates Wharton's life at her country house in the Berkshires-'my first real home,' as Wharton called it, having built it to fit her design ideals. The Mount was also the place where she made her first forays into fiction ( Ethan Frome and The House of Mirth ) and entertained a salon of writers and artists." - Vogue "If you enjoyed Downton Abbey, you'll love John Arthur's scores of full-colour photographs of the house and garden in Massachusetts as it is today, plus the many pictures taken by the family and their guests in decades gone by." - Times Colonist "Not until reading the handsome new book, Edith Wharton at Home: Life At the Mount (The Monacelli Press), did I understand how intertwined [Wharton's] writing was with her sense of place. The book... does a masterful job of showing how from 1902 until 1911 Wharton lived, wrote, and entertained a sparkling roster of visitors at The Mount." - Traditional Home, "Richard Guy Wilson's Edith Wharton at Home ...illuminates Wharton's life at her country house in the Berkshires--'my first real home,' as Wharton called it, having built it to fit her design ideals. The Mount was also the place where she made her first forays into fiction ( Ethan Frome and The House of Mirth ) and entertained a salon of writers and artists." -- Vogue "For lovers of pre-World War I glamour, for lovers of Henry James and, yes, Downton Abbey, visiting Edith Wharton at Home will very much be, to quote one guest of the Mount, 'a deeply, deliciously delicately luxurious experience'." -- World of Interiors "If you enjoyed Downton Abbey, you'll love John Arthur's scores of full-colour photographs of the house and garden in Massachusetts as it is today, plus the many pictures taken by the family and their guests in decades gone by." -- Times Colonist "Not until reading the handsome new book, Edith Wharton at Home: Life At the Mount (The Monacelli Press), did I understand how intertwined [Wharton's] writing was with her sense of place.

Of special interest is the development of the grounds and gardens for which Wharton's niece Beatrix Jones lent a hand between 1901 and 1902." --Judith B.
